After sharing and discussing our individual areas of interest we decided to choose the research question:
"To what extent does the language used by males and females in lonely hearts ads differ?"
Our data collection will include samples from newspapers and online websites. After we have a better understanding of the information our data can provide us, we will narrow our focus down to several specific linguistic areas.
We're also interested in researching some context of our chosen topic. Though it wouldn't warrant the same depth as our research question, it might be beneficial to include some information on the history of both personal ads and the medium by which they are delivered.
