Qualitative research in applied linguistics

It is hoped that this book will be of benefit and help to readers, both beginners and experienced researchers, as it provides them with the theoretical and cognitive background to understand the foundations and methods of qualitative research practice in the social sciences in general, with a focus on applied linguistics. This book is designed to be a theoretical and conceptual kit and a toolbox that can be referred to in facing the challenges, questions and practical problems that almost every researcher faces. The book starts from an understanding of qualitative research as a practice or work with the text, as the methods of collecting information turn into a product of data that is converted into texts by recording and copying, then the methods of interpretation begin from the texts themselves in a path that starts from theory to the text, and another path from text to theory
