- W2325260263 abstract "Coxon has charged that my discussion of the linguistic base to sociological measurement misrepresents the methodological presuppositions of his project on occupational cognition.l In reply I would like to counter the charge of misrepresentation, restate the source of our disagreement, challenge his advocacy of methodological pluralism in the study of social cognition and, finally, examine the broader consequences of this exchange for measurement practice. In Desperate Measures I suggest there is root incompatibility between the structure of ordinary language and that of formal language, and that the attempt to achieve a description of the former m terms of the latter, by way of scaling techniques common in sociological research, is achieved, quite illegitimately, through the surreptitious imposition of the key elements of formal langllage at certain contrived points in the data collection and analysis procedures. The reader will note that Coxon has made no attempt to defend himself and Jones agalnst this charge in relation to the example I used, namely the artefactual results generated by their use of the paired comparison technique. It seems that their original claim that such an exercise is 'dimensionless' and does not impose a frame of reference for making judgments onto the research subjects is modified in favour of one that allows that method intrudes to act as a shaping force in the descriptions so elicited but considers that the problem dissolves if we commit ourselves to a variety of procedures and vantage points in such investigations. I will try to assess the validity of the claims for such 'triangulation' in a moment; for the present I can only comment that I find the charge that my account ignores the other more thematic and stylistic techniques of analysis used in the Edinburgh project as galling as Coxon seems to find vny own critique. My paper made no pretence of providing a comprehensive review of the project on occupational cognition and clearly a critique of such 'non-numerical' analysis would have been totally irrelevant to the thesis on formal language outlined above." @default.
