OverviewAppliable Linguistics tackles everyday real-life language-related problems in diverse social, professional and academic contexts. Appliable Linguistics takes everyday real-life language-related problems in diverse social, professional and academic contexts as its starting point - both theoretical and practical. It then develops and contributes to a theoretical model of language that is 'appliable' and can respond to the particular context. The concept of applied linguistics used in this volume is informed by the work of M.A.K. Halliday, who believes that 'the value of a theory lies in the use that can be made of it'. As such, the chapters in this volume use systemic functional linguistic theory to engage with issues of translation, education, language teaching/learning, multimodality, media, social policy and action and positive discourse analysis. This collection of research offers an initial step in the pursuit of an appliable linguistics, and will serve as a foundation for future work across the discipline. It will appeal to researchers and postgraduates across applied linguistics.
