Table of ContentsReviewsThe present book is a most welcome contribution to the development of applied linguistics. The editor and authors who have worked to assemble this volume merit the attention, appreciation and emulation of the wider world of applied linguistics, so that...applied linguistics programmes and research are genuinely fit for purpose. From the Foreword, Martin Bygate, Professorial Research Fellow, St. Mary's College, London, UK; This thoughtful and thought-provoking book is, unusually, about academic research on language making a difference in non-academics' lives. The editor has done us all a great service in gathering together a lively, at times fascinating and inspiring, set of reports. The variety is wide, and the commitment is deep. We look forward to its sequel(s). From the Afterword, Charles Antaki, Professor of Language and Social Psychology, Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University, UK This book is a wake-up call to applied linguists everywhere. It illustrates what many linguists have tacitly understood but have been unfortunately slow to act upon. It convincingly demonstrates that education is not the only area in which linguistic expertise has important insights to offer. Like no other book, it provides a stimulating menu of models in which linguists can (and should) apply their theory and research to a wide range of other areas, including business, mediation, negotiation, politics, family communication, and the media. -- Roger W.
