Abstract:

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that identifies, examines,
and seeks solutions to real-life language-related issues. Such issues often
occur in situations of language contact and technological innovation, where
language problems can range from explaining misunderstandings in face-to-face
oral conversation to designing automated speech recognition systems for
business. The Concise Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics includes entries on
the fundamentals of the discipline, introducing readers to the concepts,
research, and methods used by applied linguists working in the field. This
succinct, reader-friendly volume offers a collection of entries on a range of
language problems and the analytic approaches used to address them.

This abridged reference work has been compiled from the most-accessed entries
from The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics
(www.encyclopediaofappliedlinguistics.com), the more extensive volume which is
available in print and digital format in 1000 libraries spanning 50 countries
worldwide. Alphabetically-organized and updated entries help readers gain an
understanding of the essentials of the field with entries on topics such as
multilingualism, language policy and planning, language assessment and
testing, translation and interpreting, and many others. 

Accessible for readers who are new to applied linguistics, The Concise
Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics: 

*Includes entries written by experts in a broad range of areas within applied
linguistics

*Explains the theory and research approaches used in the field for analysis of
language, language use, and contexts of language use

*Demonstrates the connections among theory, research, and practice in the
study of language issues

*Provides a perfect starting point for pursuing essential topics in applied
linguistics

Designed to offer readers an introduction to the range of topics and
approaches within the field, The Concise Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics
is ideal for new students of applied linguistics and for researchers in the
field.
