Week 6

In conducting the preliminary research for our topic, my partner and I have agreed to begin first by researching broad, general subtopics, in order to move more swiftly through our topic’s more detailed, specific components. I’ve begun to view our research strategy, all of this tedious digging, as an opportunity to become an expert on our research topic, which I think will translate positively into our final product.

We are flooded with scholarly sources and popular sources that all, somehow, involve linguistics. However, my partner and I have yet to find any single scholarly source that touches upon phonaesthetics, euphony, and cacophony. We continue to search for this golden ticket. Our popular sources so far include expanded dictionaries and an article in Forbes regarding influential words. We’re continuing to look for magazine and journal articles on linguistics and linguistics and advertisements. It’s a lot of work, but I can dig it (sorry).
