English Drama by Rituparna Sen Gupta

AN INTRODUCTION TO APPLIED LINGUISTICS

Dr. Allan charlie Language and language problems affect all of us and are an integral part of our social experience. Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems.

Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education, linguistics, psychology, computer science, anthropology, and sociology. This book provides coverage of many of the most important areas within applied linguistics.

It is a valuable addition to its field as it devotes attention to multiple subfields and maintains a sophisticated tone for an introductory text.

The book is geared primarily to readers and scholars outside the immediate realm of Applied Linguistics, yet linguistics knowledge is necessary to fully appreciate the contents.

The book will repay study by all those working professionally with language and those generally interested in the relationship between linguistics and applied linguistics. Dr. Allan Charlie, PhD., has published numerous articles widely. He is also a regular presenter at applied linguistics conferences, and widely giving presentations on vocabulary issues.

He is Professor and Honorary Fellow in the department of applied linguistics at a very reputed University in Australia.

He teaches and conducts research in the areas English as a Lingua Franca and Second Language Acquisition. He gave particular emphasis on lexical development and use.
