This master’s level seminar course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the main steps and procedures of conducting research in linguistics to come up with a theoretically informed, methodologically plausible, and ethically sound thesis project. The course involves independent and directed research activities for students to gain knowledge and skills in giving an in-depth exploration of a linguistics topic of interest, putting forward a linguistic research question, reviewing existing scholarship on the selected research topic, designing a research plan cognizant of ethical considerations, providing preliminary analyses of data initially gathered, and presenting the proposed master’s thesis project.
