• Resumen

  • I argue two things here, in response to Andrew Bennett’s ‘Found in Translation: Combining Discourse Analysis with Computer Assisted Content Analysis’. The first is that to speak of a single method within any given research project is misleading. All research projects are necessarily multi-method, so our conversation should be about how to mix, not whether to do so. The second is that, while methods are necessarily mixed within research projects, mixing methodologies is a much more fraught exercise, inasmuch as methodology implies an epistemology, a philosophy of science, in a way that method does not.
