Applied linguistics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Fields and subfields within linguistics. |

Today, the field is a cross-disciplinary mix of departments primarily from linguistics, anthropology, psychology and education.
The American Association for Applied Linguistics formed in the 1970s when it began holding separate conferences from the Linguistic Society of America. Britain and Canada have similar associations while the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée serves a more international forum.
Major journals include Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Modern Language Review, Language Learning, Applied Linguistics, AILA Journal and the TESOL Journal.
