Mixed method research Studies of this kind combine qualitative and quantitative methods under a variety of names, such as mixed mode studies/ research, methodological triangulation, and multimethodological research. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the researcher can “bring out the best of both paradigms” (p. 45) and improve the validity of research outcomes (Dörnyei, 2007). How to conduct a mixed method research Corpus analysis "At one level, corpus linguistics can be regarded as primarily a methodology: It is empirical, analyzing the actual patterns of use in natural texts; it utilizes a large and principled collection of natural, known as a 'corpus', as the basis for analysis; it makes extensive use of computer for analysis, using both automatic and interactive techniques; It depends on both quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques.
