Throughout the year, independent study taught us vital skills which are very useful, especially when studying linguistics.
Firstly, the questionnaire module was useful as it brought
to our attention the importance of how questions should and should not be
presented, in order to gain the best results. The transcribing tasks allowed me
to finally get to grips with the way in which spoken language can be written
and analysed. It was helpful as it allowed me to be more confident when
transcribing my own data. The most useful task was the corpus investigation; it
was an entirely new topic for me and I learnt a lot on how to perform a corpus
investigation and the interesting results which can come from one.
