In linguistics, the methods of linguistic research are a set of standard tools and techniques based on assumptions about the nature of the analyzed object. They were formed as a result of the development of science itself, as well as in the process of the activities of various directions and schools.
In a broad sense, scientific and linguistic research methods are not only means and techniques for studying an object, but also meta-scientific beliefs, values ​​shared by people involved in linguistics.

FEATURES:

Within the framework of general linguistics, the methods of linguistic research are formed on the basis of the global goals of analysis, the value obligations assumed by scientists, expressed in:

• 
  striving to approach the ideal of strictness of description;
  
• 
  the practical value of the activity;
  
• 
  the comparability of the results of linguistic analysis with the results of other types of research.
  

In the development of methodology, the idea of ​​which approaches to research can be considered scientific and which cannot be considered is of no small importance.
At the same time, the methods of linguistic research are the starting points, applied without evidence. They are not questioned until some kind of crisis phenomenon arises in the development of science or its separate direction.
In a broad sense, the methodology forms the core of the discipline, constitutes its basic tools.
