May I See Your Warrant, Please?: Justifying Outcomes in Qualitative Research.
Edge, Julian; Richards, Keith
Applied Linguistics, v19 n3 p334-56 Sep 1998
Addresses the need to provide adequate justification for claims made in Teaching-English-as-a-Second-Language (TESOL) research, examining interaction between the pragmatics of doing research for higher degrees and the philosophy of science. Argues that although there are no simple choices for researchers, the issue of warrant is a potentially positive source of conceptual development. (SM)
