A Multidisciplinary Approach to Applied Linguistics and Education: Building Knowledge in Foreign Language Teaching, Translation, Critical Discourse Analysis and Posthumanism

Abstract

[Abstract] This book offers a collection of papers tackling aspects in the fields of Applied Linguistics, discourse analysis, teaching and translation. The contributions cover topics of special interest to scholars and researchers in these fields, such as language acquisition through the exploration of different L2 learners's experiences: translation studies, including the difficulties of finding suitable equivalences between legal systems; critical discourse analysis applied to the discourse of intimate partner violence against women; post-humanism; and stylistic variation in contemporary English. The volume also highlights the increasing interdisciplinary between computer science and linguistics, as evidence of the new path this interaction is leading to. The book is a resource for researchers and general users interested in the computer branch and its contribution to Linguistics.
