Info & Library Science: stances in move 3

Stances in 'Introduction': Info & Library Science - Introduction 2 - Move 3

(1) Select an 'Introduction' (2) Select a move in that 'Introduction' (What is this?)

Learning Objectives & Strategies:
Explore stances used (A) to make move (B) to support move-making in Move 3
1. Understand what the 3 moves are? ('Introduction' & 3 Moves).
2. Look at the sentences that make move and the stances used.
3. Look at the supporting sentences and the stances used.
4. Compare why supporting sentences are differnt from move-making sentences.
5. Check out the ratios of stances used (A) to make move only & (B) overall in Move 3.

(Y)Describe the present research + outline the structure of this paper

Non Argumentative

In Section 2, we start with transcription and coding, where conflicting judgments between experts or evaluators quite often show up.

(N) elaborate on C8

Med Argumentative: to show higher possibility of

The degree of conflict can be made clear by calculating agreement indices.

(Y) Describe the present research

Tentative

Moreover, we will show how data on which disagreement occurs ought to be dealt with in the analysis.

(Y) outline the structure of this paper

Non Argumentative

The statistical analysis of frequency data is the central topic of Section 3.

(N) elaborate on C11

Tentative: to show some degree of ="generally"

Basically, the analysis of this type of data is fairly straightforward.

(N) elaborate on C11

Non Argumentative: to present fact

The primary technique is v2 analysis, a technique explained in introductory textbooks on statistics.

(N) elaborate on C11

Non Argumentative: to present fact

An important assumption of v2 analysis and equivalent statistics is the independence of observations,

14.1

(N) elaborate on C11

High Argumentative: to proclaim

and precisely this assumption is problematic in corpus research.

(N) elaborate on C11

Non Argumentative: to describe action

We show how two kinds of dependences may interfere in the statistical analysis, both resulting in a Type I error which is too high;

15.1

(N) elaborate on C11

High Argumentative: to proclaim

(that is to say that) the significance of an effect is claimed too often where in fact there is no effect.

(Y)Describe the present research + outline the structure of this paper

Non Argumentative

Section 4 deals with two other well-known problems in v2 analysis, viz. the effects of small and large samples.

(N) elaborate on C16

Tentative: to show tendency

Small samples tend to yield few significant effects,

17.1

(N) elaborate on C16

High Argumentative: to counter

while the ‘high significance’ levels obtained with large samples are often incorrectly interpreted as indicators of substantial effects.

(N) elaborate on C16

Non Argumentative: to present fact

For small samples the concept of power is relevant.

(N) elaborate on C16

Non Argumentative: to present fact

For large samples, we need an index which expresses the size of an effect, independently from the sample size.

(Y)Describe the present research + outline the structure of this paper

Non Argumentative

In Section 5, we discuss the use of the log odds ratio as an alternative to v2 analysis.

(N) elaborate on C20

High Argumentative: to proclaim

Its use is still quite rare in corpus analysis,

21.1

(N) elaborate on C20

High Argumentative: to proclaim

although it has outstanding statistical properties.

(N) elaborate on C20

Non Argumentative: to present fact

Log odds form the basis of attractive multivariate techniques, such as logit analysis and logistic regression.
