The social and geographical mobility, including international migration, interlink and interplay but are approached by different research methods. This article makes an effort to combine these approaches of researching mobility. The studies on social and occupational mobility of migrants may relate to, at least, three dimensions: (1) between sending and receiving countries (a comparison of the pre-departure and during migration socio-occupational positions of migrants); (2) in the receiving country (socio-occupational positions of migrants are compared to those of natives); (3) in the sending country (a comparison of the pre-on-post migration socio-occupational positions of migrants). The article considers the third approach. First part relates to the critical analysis of various approaches of researching social mobility and international mobility. In the following, as based on the nearly two decades of studies of Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw, various options of analyses of occupational careers of international migrants have been presented. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches have been taken into account in this article. Therefore, this article made possible an analysis of pros and cons of both approaches and brought an evidence that they complement each other while studying occupational careers of migrants.

The article offers a brief survey of the main methods used nowadays to capture the productivity of morphological processes. The discussion starts out from the definition of productivity put forward by Corbin (1987). According to the accepted distinction between availability and profitability, the qualitative and the quantitative approaches are presented. Special attention is paid to two methods typical of the quantitative approach: dictionary-based and corpus-based. Italian verb-noun compounds (such as portalettere, guardaboschi etc.) are used as an example to show how the profitability of the process can be captured in a dictionary and in a corpus. The corpus-based study of productivity is demonstrated by Baayen’s work (e.g. Baayen, 1992, 2001, 2008). It exemplifies his view according to which profitability can be conceived of as the likelihood of observing a new type when sampling a large corpus. The article introduces key notions such as vocabulary growth curve / rate and concludes with a brief discussion of some problems associated with the corpus-based approach, namely the question of the supposed equivalence of hapaxes / neologisms and the problem of type identification and elimination.
