Abstract:

Through conceptual and empirical means, this timely volume looks at
how critical realism, a specific approach to the philosophy of
science, helps uncover and refine assumptions about what constitutes
valid knowledge in applied linguistics, how scholars can create it,
and how applied linguistics can improve as an interdisciplinary strand
of the social sciences. With contributions from leading and
up-and-coming scholars in the field, the book covers a range of
topics, from language, language learning and teaching, language
curriculum and programmes, evaluation and assessment, academic
writing, discourse, beliefs, values, truth, resilience, ethnicity,
social class, as well as ideologies and systems of social inequality
including anthropocentrism, racism, linguicism, sexism, patriarchy,
and neoliberalism. Exploring the philosophical basis of applied
linguistics research, it is essential reading for academic scholars
and graduate students in applied linguistics, as well as social
scientists interested in language-related issues and social issues in
which language plays a central role.
