Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how forms of address negotiate hierarchy in workplace meetings produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how forms of address negotiate hierarchy in workplace meetings within approved consented English meeting recordings from one accessible organisation?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how forms of address negotiate hierarchy in workplace meetings; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how forms of address negotiate hierarchy in workplace meetings.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from approved consented English meeting recordings from one accessible organisation.
- 03Compare names, titles and avoidance across agenda stages and participant roles using anonymised transcripts.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for approved consented English meeting recordings from one accessible organisation. Compare names, titles and avoidance across agenda stages and participant roles using anonymised transcripts. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to approved consented English meeting recordings from one accessible organisation
- An annotation guide covering how forms of address negotiate hierarchy in workplace meetings
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
Address terms alone cannot establish the fairness of a workplace or employees' private attitudes.
