Abstract
This chapter collates a range of linguistic approaches, qualitative (discourse analysis) and quantitative (corpus linguistics), and the value of their combination. The authors apply their linguistic expertise to the primary data used by researchers in Chapters 9 and 10, including practical demonstration of a ‘worked’ transcript. This chapter closes with an attempt to recreate the kind of open, collaborative thinking that can emerge when academics from different disciplines work together on the same material, and illustrate why those disciplines need one another, especially in relation to a phenomenon as multilevelled and multifaceted as reading.
