Synopsis
Grix (German studies, U. of Birmingham) presents a textbook for a course he devised to introduce the basic language of research that is common to all the social sciences. The underlying idea is that learning that language, and what the terms and concepts mean and how they can be employed, will dissipate much of the mystery surrounding post-graduate research.
