Summary:

Linguists at the University of Sydney and elsewhere in Australia explore appliable linguistics as a framework through which to study language-related issues in theoretical linguistics. The discipline takes everyday real-life language-related theoretical and practical problems as a starting point, then develops and contributes to a theoretical model of language that can be applied in the context. Many of the 16 chapters were delivered as papers at the 2008 Second Free Linguistics Conference in Sydney. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
