Sociolinguistic Research: Facilitating Analysis with Artificial Intelligence--- A Value-Based and Pipeline-Oriented Approach presents a structured framework for conducting sociolinguistic research organized around seven pipeline clusters (A to G) and six research orientations. The book's central argument is that values--- not data types, method availability, or disciplinary convention--- are the logical prior to every research decision. This value-based framing is operationalized through a pipeline-oriented architecture that makes the workflow logic of sociolinguistic methods explicit, comparable, and reusable across research contexts. Each cluster integrates Python-based data processing and analysis scripts, AI-assisted guidance, and a unified prerequisite preprocessing pipeline. The book is designed for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate researchers in linguistics and related fields, and assumes no prior programming experience for most paths.
