Meeting Description:

This symposium is organized and hosted by the Applied Linguistics Research Lab
at the College of Humanities, Prince Sultan University (PSU). It aims at
promoting Applied Linguistic research in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Area
through bringing together international names and high-quality research in
various Applied Linguistic disciplines. These include, but are not limited to,
Translation and Stylistics, Second Language Acquisition, Assessment, Corpus
Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, and Psycholinguistics and Bilingualism. 
 
ALR2021 will focus on the interdisciplinary character of Applied Linguistics
research. Applied Linguists often collaborate with researchers in other
disciplines in order to have a comprehensive understanding of language use.
Closely related disciplines are Psychology, Sociology, Data Science, Cultural
Studies, Law, Education, among others. This is even reflected in the names of
many sub-disciplines of Applied Linguistics, including Psycholinguistics,
Sociolinguistics, Intercultural Pragmatics, Forensic Linguistics and
Educational Linguistics. ALR2021 will highlight this interdisciplinary nature
of language studies and will emphasize the need for this interdisciplinary
perspective to enhance our understanding of language and our ability to
develop the practical applications for our research efforts.
