Definition
What‘s applied Linguistics
• It is an inter an trans disciplinary approach

Linguistics
Linguistics v/s Applied Linguistics
Linguistics is the
scientific study of
language. It
endeavours to
answer the question-what is language
and how is
represented in the
mind?

• Oriented to the
solution of linguistic
problems.
• It puts linguistic
theories into practice
in areas such as
foreign language
teaching, speech
therapy, translation,
and speech
pathology
John 3,16
Defining the Scope of AL
“AL is the utilization of the knowledge about the
nature of language achieved by linguistic
research for the improvement of the efficiency
of some practical task in which language is a
central component.” (Corder, 1974, p. 24) (Ibid.)
Defining the Scope of AL
• “Whenever knowledge about language is used to
solve a basic language-related problem, one may say
that applied linguistics is being practiced.

• AL is a technology which makes abstract ideas and
research findings accessible and relevant to the real
world; it mediates between theory and practice.”
• (Strevens, 1992, p. 76)(Ibid.)
Defining the Scope of AL
•
•
•
•
•

Therefore, applied linguistics involves
a- what we know about language
b- how it is learned
c- how it is used
• The primary concern of applied linguistics
has been second language acquisition
theory, second language pedagogy and the
interrelationship of both areas.

Linguistics

John 3,16
• What is our vision, what are the perspectives
that support our work?
• What underlying views and assumptions
colour and determine our actions?
• How is the world organized, and how do our
own endeavours fit into that structure?
