Abstract

This study explores the paradigm shift in social sciences and its effects on applied linguistics. As a result of the shift towards a post-positivist paradigm in social sciences, there has been an increasing interest and use of qualitative research in applied linguistics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between applied linguistics and conventional methodological approaches, as well as the usage of qualitative research designs in applied linguistics. To achieve this aim, a categorical content analysis was carried out by examining the doctoral dissertations conducted in the field of applied linguistics since 2000 in terms of their research paradigms and designs. Furthermore, the study analyzed how the current aspect of applied linguistics in Turkey is being influenced by the paradigmatic shift. The results demonstrated that in doctoral dissertations experimental and descriptive research designs were preferred the most in each year, and qualitative research designs were underestimated by the researchers. As a result, it is unlikely to argue that there is a shift towards a post-positivist paradigm in the field of applied linguistics in Turkey in regard to doctoral dissertations conducted in the field. In light of the findings, some recommendations were given to applied linguists.

Özet

Bu çalışma sosyal bilimlerdeki paradigma dönüşümünü ve bu dönüşümün uygulamalı dilbilimi alanındaki etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Sosyal bilimlerde post-pozitivist paradigmaya doğru yaşanan dönüşüm vesilesiyle uygulamalı dilbilimi alanında nitel araştırma yöntemleri oldukça önem kazanmış ve kullanımı artmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı uygulamalı dilbilimin geleneksel yöntemsel yaklaşımlar ile ilişkisini ve uygulamalı dilbilimde nitel araştırma desenlerinin kullanımını araştırmaktır. Bu amaç için 2000 yılından itibaren uygulamalı dilbilimi alanında yapılan doktora tezleri belirlenerek, araştırma yöntem ve desenleri üzerine kategorik içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Mevcut bulgular ışığında, yapılan doktora tezlerinde her yıl ağırlıklı olarak nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden deneysel ve betimsel tarama yöntemleri tercih edilirken nitel araştırma yöntemlerine ait desenlerin oldukça geri planda olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’de uygulamalı dilbilimi alanında yapılan doktora tezlerinde post-pozitivist paradigmaya doğru bir dönüşümünden söz etmek oldukça güçtür. Mevcut bulgular ışığında uygulamalı dilbilimcilere tavsiyeler verilmiştir.
