Summary
This new textbook provides coverage of many of the most important areas within applied linguistics. Each chapter is written by two experts from different continents or research paradigms, ensuring that coverage is both comprehensive and evenly balanced. Each chapter offers an up-to-date, broad overview, with an analysis section at the end which will allow readers some "hands-on" experience working with data typical of the area.
