Family Interactions: A Follow-Up Post

I have inquired within my family about my project, since the project is about them, after all, and I have several changes that will be effective immediately upon my project.

  1. I cannot use an audio-video recorder to capture a conversation. They view this as an invasion of privacy and will not allow me to do it. However, I can listen to a conversation and remember sections of it to use on my work.
  2. I will also be analyzing the length of the words each family member uses. For example, my father might use short, curt words and my mother may use long, eloquent words. This will fall under the Word Analysis section, which brings me to my second point:
Categories. I will have several categories that I will be analyzing, and to help better organize my work.

  1. Word Analysis: Etymology, word length, family members' words
  2. Tone Analysis: How do my family members talk?
  3. Conversation Analysis: How do conversations pan out? This will contain specifics from both Tone and Word Analyses, and how each of these categories work together to produce conversation.
More specifics will follow, and I plan to start working on the main brunt of the project very soon, possibly next week.
