The Oxford Handbook of Applied Linguistics (2 ed.)
Edited by Robert B. Kaplan
Abstract
The Oxford Handbook of Applied Linguistics contains thirty-nine articles on a broad range of topics in applied linguistics written by a diverse group of contributors. Its goal is to provide a comprehensive survey of the field, the many connections among its various sub-disciplines, and the likely directions of its future development. The book addresses a broad audience: applied linguists; educators and other scholars working in language acquisition, language learning, language planning, teaching, and testing; and linguists concerned with the applications of their work. The volume systematically encompasses the major areas of applied linguistics and draws from a wide range of disciplines such as education, language policy, bi- and multi-lingualism, literacy, language and gender, psycholinguistics/cognition, language and computers, discourse analysis, language and concordinances, ecology of language, pragmatics, translation, psycholinguistics and cognition, and many other fields. This second edition includes five new articles, and the remaining articles have been revised and updated to give a clear picture of the state of applied linguistics.
