"Handsomely produced, and very attractive visually. The
editors, Alan Davies and Catherine Elder, are leading experts in
applied linguistics and they have assembled a strong group of
contributors to the enterprise... The Handbook of Applied
Linguistics should be in every academic library, and I would
recommend that applied linguists look at it, note specific chapters
of interest, and read over those chapters carefully... Because
of the depth allowed for each chapter, there is much
thought-provoking material and many ideas that may challenge as
well as support established positions." Language
Teaching Research
"In the vast quarry of theories and interdisciplinary
investigations of applied linguistics this rigorous and scholarly
book is an authoritative guide to the focal issues. It provides
both original and important contributions to the literature as well
as signposts to the future." John C. Maher,
International Christian University, Tokyo
"In its forty years of activity, applied linguistics has
been concerned to define itself, its extent, and its relations with
related fields. This handbook, edited by Davies and Catherine
Elder, brings the issues up-to-date, providing not just a clear
account of current work in the branches of the field by thirty of
the best-known practitioners, but a cogent perspective justifying
treating applied linguistics as an independent and united
discipline." Bernard Spolsky, Bar-Ilan
University
"This is a linguistically sophisticated, pedagogically
sound, research oriented, interdisciplinary approach at defining
applied linguistics as a discipline in its own right that should be
in every applied linguist's library. A vade mecum."
James E. Alatis, Georgetown University
"Davies and Elder are to be congratulated for the Handbook
in Applied Linguistics. The handbook reflects the historical
evolution of thinking in applied linguistics, its emerging
dimensions, and successfully captures the nature of an internal
critique of applied linguistics within applied linguistics. Because
applied linguistics is firmly embedded within western applied
linguistics, the handbook book forces us to reflect on the nature
non-western applied linguistics might take." Sinfree
Makoni, Pennsylvania State University
