Abstract:

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) describes the technological
transformations that are incrementally, but radically, changing
everyday life practices. Like previous industrial revolutions,
technological advancements are so pervasive and impactful that
everything from an individual's sense of identity and understanding of
the world to the economic success of an entire industry are profoundly
altered by 4IR innovation. Despite the significance of 4IR
transformations, little applied linguistic research has examined how
these emergent technologies collectively transform human behavior and
communication. To this end, this Element identifies key 4IR issues and
outlines how they relate to applied linguistic research. The Element
argues that applied linguists are in an excellent position to
contribute to such research, as expertise in language and
communication is critical to understanding 4IR issues. However, to
make interdisciplinary and wider societal contributions, applied
linguists must rethink how 4IR technologies can be harnessed to more
efficiently publish and disseminate timely research.
