Does phonomology and a case study equal to cross methods?

Phonology and a case study do not inherently equate to cross methods. Phonology is the study of sound systems in language, while a case study typically involves an in-depth examination of a particular instance or example. Cross-methods typically refer to the integration of different research methodologies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon. However, combining phonological analysis with a case study could represent a cross-method approach if it incorporates various methodologies to explore linguistic phenomena.
