Abstract
The article explores the case method, its main characteristics, types, constraints and advantages. Nowadays, the application of cases is important in many professional areas. More and more often this method is found in linguistics and becomes a widespread approach in the field of educational research. The use of case studies involves analyzing data obtained on the basis of events or situations that have occurred with certain participants, and, therefore, is pragmatic by nature. It provides in turn, a sufficiently broad understanding of the aspects of language use. It was found that the method could focus both on the study of personal experience of the individual and the conditions in which the speech activity is carried out. Without reference to what represents a case, the object of interest is specific units with their complexity and interaction, which confirm how one or another theory reveals the mechanism of language functioning. Relying on a variety of methodologies, cases can serve as a good illustrative material, give explanations or, conversely, complicate acquired knowledge. Regardless of the purposes for which the case method is used, the common feature is that each case specifically taken for analysis is a valuable tool in conducting a comprehensive study of the situation.
