Book Synopsis

This handbook provides a systematic overview firstly of the basic concepts and secondly of current research topics and trends in Applied Romance Linguistics from a theoretical, methodological and empirical perspective. It takes account of both traditional and innovative research approaches. Following a general introduction to the field and its major topics, methods and objectives, the presentation is divided into four thematic sections (methods and methodology; language, society and knowledge; language acquisition and language education; specialised communication and transfer).

The volume is geared towards researchers, teachers and students working in the fields of linguistic and communication studies, but also addresses the general public. It aims to provide useful information for anyone dealing with problems of language and communication in their professional or private lives, and illustrates career options for graduates of Romance Linguistics.
