Qualita7ve

uses
one
style
of
language
• Formal
language,
structured
composi7on
• Or
short
–

Tweets
“(Service

completely
professional.
They

regularly
to

Qualita7ve
research
uses
a
different
style
• Shorthand
language,
or
• Complex
construc7ons.
“Sunglasses?
I
must
admit,
I
don’t
put

I
start
squin)ng
and
‘oo

see
properly
maybe
I
should
put
my
sunglasses
on

and
it’s
not
like
an
automa)c

that
I
will
put
them
on.“
• Conversa7onal
• Informal

And
why
the
Word
Cloud
was
wrong
• The
first

• At
the
same
7me
• It’s
that
7me
of
year
• The
peak
of
Xmas
delivery
7mes
• Us
7me
poor
peeps
• An
honest
aCempt
for
everyone
to
truly
spend
the
7me
together.
“Christmas
is
a
double

sword,
it
has
its
stressful
fran7c
indecisive
rushed
moments
and
on
the
other
end
a
relaxed
joyful
loving
and
happy
7me.”
And
it
missed
‘moments’
in
this
The
‘7me’
theme
seemed
like
single
construct
–
but
it
wasn’t
If
borrowing
methods
from
Big

won’t
work,
what
can
we
do?

IMHO
• In
person
modera7ng
s7ll
has
a
very
clear
role
to
play.
• Unlikely
to
replace
the
moderator/
interviewer,
but
AI
may
transform
this
role
–
in
a
good
way.
In
person
modera7ng
is
not
at
risk
Online
modera7ng
is
at
risk
• Already
part
automated.
• In
some
cases,
it
is
just
data
collec7on.
• The
excep7on
will
be
online
moderators
and
plalorms
which
ac7vely
engage
‘people
as
people’.
