The Young Researchers Forum is a one-day, in-person event on June 5, 2023 organised by doctoral students from the Department of Linguistics and Translation, City University of Hong Kong. It offers an opportunity for master's students, doctoral students, and young doctors in any Linguistics and Translation Studies branch to share a part of their research journey: What to do when reaching a methodological Crossroads?
The Forum is a space for young researchers to share successes, concerns, and overall experiences related to methodological challenges. It also falls one day before "The International Symposium on Linguistics, Language Applications and Translation Studies in the Big Data Era", held at City University of Hong Kong. Therefore, apart from being a networking platform, the one-day event is a chance to discuss and receive feedback from peers and attending scholars. The essential requirement is a concrete methodological issue or doubt. Presenters may share either how they solved it (if they already have done so) or the methodological predicament, eliciting comments and suggestions.
POSSIBLE CROSSROADS (please feel free to send us anything else you feel relevant to the event’s theme):
• Qualitative, quantitative, triangulated analysis (what works best with the data I collect?)
• Design of questionnaires or interview protocols
• Data analysis software
• Contextual and bio information from subjects
• Methodological choices and ethical review
• Effective data presentation
SUBMISSION AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION
You may have reached a stage in your project where your database is defined but are at a crossroads with methodology. You may have already selected a methodological approach and would like to know whether you are on the right path. The Young Researchers Forum awaits your submission! Please, submit your abstract (Word file, max 800 words excluding references, single-spaced, 12pts Times New Roman) below (https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/crossroads2023, click on "submit to this conference" at the bottom of the page) by the 24th of April 2023. We aim to have presentations lasting a maximum 15 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of QA. Accepted submissions will be collected into a book of abstracts.
Suggested Abstract/Presentation Structure:
• A general, concise introduction about the research area and topic.
• Focus on the methodological challenge!
How did you solve it?
What kind of paths do you see available at your crossroads?
What would you like to receive feedback on?
• You are welcome to include relevant data examples and illustrations.
• Bibliography/References
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email ([email protected]).
We are looking forward to welcoming you at the City University of Hong Kong!
