Last year, I chose to do a corpus study and a transcription
with a questionnaire to discover the answers to linguistic questions of my own
devising. Although initially I struggled to fully comprehend the type of investigations
we were meant to be developing, after sufficient wider reading and a number of
false starts, I gained a result I was pleased with as well as skills in
research, referencing and how to use a corpus effectively. All of these things
will be useful in my second year and I hope to develop my knowledge next year
by tailoring my investigations to suit my personal linguistic interests.
