Defining issues in Ed Ling

[Dan Douglas]

Richard et al.: "...we need to work together with people from [all sorts of
other] disci[plines."  Yes indeed, though it strikes me that, given the
turns the discussion is now taking, educational linguistics begins to
overlap with the fields of language for specific purposes and rhetoric and
professional communication (insofar as it deals with academic language).

Cheers,
Dan
