Chapter 12 Flashcards
analytic domain
in domain analysis, a type of domain a researcher develops using categories or terms he or she developed to understand a social setting
axial coding
a second coding of qualitative data after open coding. The researcher organizes the codes, develops links among them, and discovers key analytic categories
cover term
in domain analysis, the name for a domain (i.e. a cultural setting or site in which people regularly interact and develop a set of shaed understandings) or “miniculture” that can be analysed
domain analysis
A method of qualitative data analysis in which a researchers describes and reveals the structure of a cultural domain
empty boxes
a name for conceptual categories in an explaantion that a researcher uses as part of the illustrative method of qualitiative data analysis
folk domain
in domain analysis, a domain based on actual words, ideas, and phrases used by members in a social setting or historical actors in a specific era
illustrative method
a method of qualitative data analysis in which a researcher takes the concepts of a social theory or explanation and treats them as empty boxes to be filled with empirical examples and description
included term
in domain analysis, the subtypes or parts of the cultural domain that are within a cover term and have a semantic relationship to one another
mixed domain
in domain analysis, a domain that combines the words and categories of members under study with categories developed by a researcher for analysis
narrative
a type of writing and analysis in field research and historical-comparative research in which the writer attempts to “tell a story” by following chronological order, describing particular people and events, and focusing on colorfoul details
open coding
a first coding of qualitative data in which a researcher examines the data to condense them into preliminary analytic categories or codes for analysing the data
selective coding
a last pass at coding qualitative data in which a researcher examines previous codes to identify and select illustrative data that will support the conceptual coding categories that he or she developed
semantic relationship
in domain analysis, a logical connection that links included terms in a domain to one another.
successive approximation
a method of qualitative data analysis in which the researcher repeatedly moves back and forth between the empirical data and the abstract concepts, theories, or models
