Linguistic Ethnography
Linguistic Ethnography is a qualitative research approach combining ethnographic fieldwork with detailed linguistic analysis to understand language use in cultural context. Developed by researchers like Ben Rampton, it examines how people use language within communities, institutions, and social interactions while paying attention to identity, power, and meaning-making. This method integrates sociolinguistics, anthropology, and discourse analysis to produce rich, contextualized understandings of language-in-society.
