2. Linguistics Applied linguistics
The scientific study of language,
and involves an analysis of language
form, language meaning, and
language in context.
Applied linguistics is a branch of
linguistics where the primary concern
is the application of the linguistic
theories, methods and findings to the
explanation of language problems
which have arisen in other areas of
experience.
3. Applied linguistics cover two main points
The study of second and foreign language
learning and teaching
The study of language and linguistics in relation
to practical problems
4. What is the relation between linguistics
and applied linguistics?
Linguistics is primarily concerned with language in itself and in findings ways
of analysing language and building theories that describe language.
Applied linguistics is concerned with the role of language in peoples’ lives and
problems associated with language use in peoples’ lives.
Linguistics is essential but not the only feeder discipline.
5. The relation between applied linguistics
and language teaching
Applied Linguistics is used to solve specific
class problems that arise in setting up,
implementing a language teaching program
and answering certain types of questions that
arise in the planning process
6. Applied Linguistics:
When did it all begin?
• The term Applied Linguistics (AL) is an
Anglo-American coinage.
• It was founded first at the University of
Edinburgh School of Applied Linguistics in
1956.
• Then at the Center of Applied Linguistics
in Washington D.C. in 1957.
7. Applied Linguistics:
When did it all begin?
The British Association of Applied Linguistics (BAAL) was
formally established in 1967, with the following aims:
“the advancement of education by fostering and
promoting, by any lawful charitable means, the study of
language use, language acquisition and language teaching
and the fostering of inter-disciplinary collaboration in this
study”
It was largely taken for granted in the 1960s and 1970s
that applied linguistics was about language teaching.
8. Aim of Applied Linguistic Studies
1. The study of second language and foreign
language learning and teaching
2. Investigate problems related to language
learning and teaching
3. To find some practical steps to solve those
problems.
9. The need for Applied Linguistics
The Importance of Applied Linguistic lies in the
significant role it has in solving language-related
problems.
Language is crucial to human lives. Without
language, most important activities will be
inconceivable.
Throughout the history and across the world,
people have been using language to
communicate.
10. Scopes of apllied lingusitics
Language teaching and learning
Language testing
Psycho-and neuorolinguistics
Sociolinguistics
Discourse analysis
Computational linguistics
Translation studies
11. Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines
into one activity (e.g., a research project).
It is about creating something new by crossing boundaries, and thinking across
them.
It is related to an interdiscipline, which is an organizational unit that crosses
traditional boundaries between academic disciplines, as new need and
professions emerge. (origin of languange, Translation of lang. Through
computers)
12. Some of the area related to A L
What is interdiciplinary linguistics?
interdiciplinary studies involve two or more academic diciplines which are considered
distinct. The most common interdiciplinary branches of linguistics are:
• Historical linguistics,
• Sociolinguistics
• Psycholinguistics
• Ethnolinguistics
• Computational linguistics
• Neurolinguistics.
13. psycholinguistics
Looks at how language is aquired by humsns
How speech is created in real time
How speech is perceived
How language is stord
14. Socolinguistics
Looks at how language is used in a social context, e.g.
• Language use and social class
• Language use and gender
• Language usd and occupatio
• Bilingualism
• Code switching
15. What is the relationship between applied
linguistics and other language related
disciplines?
Applied linguistics occupies an intermediary, mediating position between
language related disciplines (linguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics)
and professional practice
It uses theories/principles from language related disciplines in order to
understand language related issues and to solve language related problems.
The choice of which disciplines are involved in applied linguistics matters
depends on the circumstances.
Applied linguistics conducts research into professional practice and on the
basis of the results develops theory.
