applied linguistics Chapter One
This document discusses the scope of applied linguistics. It begins by noting that language plays a central role in human life and interactions. It then outlines several areas of focus for applied linguistics, including language education, language in the workplace and law, and the relationship between language and information/effects. Finally, it acknowledges that while some areas are more independent, such as literary stylistics, they all fall under the broad definition of applied linguistics as the study of real-world problems involving language.
