Description
Written by internationally renowned academics, this volume provides a snapshot of the field of applied linguistics, and illustrates how linguistics is informing and engaging with neighbouring disciplines.
Chapters in this second volume present an overview of new (and interdisciplinary) applications of linguistics to such diverse fields as economics, law, religion, tourism, media studies and health care. Both volumes represent the best of current practice in applied linguistics, and will be invaluable to students and researchers looking for an overview of the field.
Reviews
"These volumes take their mission seriously: to build the future of applied linguistics, grounded in language but with a broad concern for real-world issues. The volumes make for rewarding reading and demonstrate the continuing and renewed relevance of applied linguistics." -- Diane Larsen-Freeman, Professor of Linguistics, University of Michigan, USA
