ABSTRACT
The previous chapters, through reviews of the literature, served both to contextualise the current study and to develop the research questions and objectives that this research seeks to address. The current chapter advances to discuss the methodological framework upon which the thesis is based. Then the actual fieldwork itself is described and the process of analysis. First, however, before outlining the research methods, it seems appropriate to revisit the aims of the research, discussed in the introduction, and consider how these were derived from the literature.
