The core foundations of applied linguistics have long been located in exploring
language as it is used in the world and in finding solutions to language-based
problems. Modern applied linguistics is interdisciplinary and wide-ranging,
being informed by research spanning psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics,
education, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and other areas of the
cognitive, learning, and information sciences. The goal of the OUP Applied
Linguistics Series is to influence the quality of language education through
publishing and disseminating relevant scholarship and research.
