Reply to Chas: 
 
I am sorry I wrote so as to mislead you.  I mean that the study of socialized motivations,
as part of the sociology of the discipline, is part of the field of methodology.  E.g.,
political correctness is part of it but not the goal; part of it in the sense that
sociological pressures lead individuals to use certain expressions and not others.  This
view of mine of methodology is not prescriptive; rather, it is descriptive of the
epistemological principles and other (sociological) forces at work.  Thus the study of
economics as language is also part of the field of methodology.
