Sung Woo-questions

1. Denzen & Lincoln or Jensen all point out that multiple methodology characterizes qualitative approach. Then, what are the strong points of each technique? For example, how do participant observation and interview complement each other? What are the good combinations for a certain research?
2. Is it possible to replicate qualitative research? For example if Malinowski observed New Guinean people instead of Mead, would the result have been different?
3. What are the instances that qualitative research embraced physical science?
4. Citation from Jankowski & Wester. “The minimal effect of communication found through survey is largely a product of methodology (Gitlin).” So, are qualitative approaches, largely more into moderate or powerful effect model?
5. Some of the concepts used in Peirces’s social semiotics, how can they be incorporated into SR communication model? Concept like interpretation, or difference?
