7.10.1 Reliability of superstructure analysis

In order to ensure the reliability of the superstructure analysis, coding was effected, on the one part, by the researcher and, on the other part, by a co-coder carefully trained in the terminology and application of Hoey’s (2001) Problem-Solution Model. The two coders first worked independently of each other and after completing the analysis of the two source and the eight target language texts, they compared their findings. In the case of disagreements, they agreed on the coding of certain problematic sentences. It must be noted, at the same time, that there was a low number of problematic sentences in the total of ten texts and intriguingly enough, all the three problematic sentences surfaced in the Hungarian source language texts.

After the two coders independently classified the sentences of the source and target texts into the functional categories of the problem-solution structure (situation, problem, response, evaluation and result), a reliability analysis was performed. The classification of each sentence by the two coders was compared and a reliability value was calculated on the basis of the two coders’ categorisation of the sentences of the source and target texts (i.e. is the coding of a given sentence identical for the two coders?). The congruence between the coding by the two coders was expressed in a percentage value. The figure of the resulting reliability value was 83%, which can be considered as reliable, since the classification of superstructure categories is largely based on interpretation (Károly 2007). Given the interpretative nature of this analysis and the fact that the current undertaking works with a limited number of texts, a statistical analysis would not have produced statistically interpretable results. It can thus be concluded that the results of the superstructure analysis are reliable.
