1	Introduction (about ½ page) giving the general area investigated, why it interests you, brief notes on research you will refer to later and the frameworks you will use.

2	Aims or hypothesis (about ½ page) - these should be general and specific, and you will need to be more detailed about your choice of frameworks here (What do you hope the study of lexis will show you?)

3	Description of data (about ½ page) - a brief explanation of who you have studied/recorded; what they are doing; where they are and when it was.

4	Methodology (1 - 3 pages) explaining which methods you have used; showing your awareness of other possibilities and why you rejected them; explaining how you have controlled variables, what ethical considerations you had etc.

5	Analysis (3 pages minimum) analysing your data under different headings and referring in detail to your aims and frameworks used.

6	Conclusions (1 page) - again, referring to your aims and clearly answering them.

7	Evaluation (½ - 1 page) assessing what you think went well or badly and what future directions you think similar studies could take.  Again, refer to your aims and the frameworks you used and comment on their usefulness.

8	Data - the prepared version first, then raw (tapes/cds are also submitted).

9	References - books, articles, web references.

10	Appendices - letters of consent, summaries of any research used (so your aims, methodology and analysis are not bogged down with it).
