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 practical 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 teaching; specialized communication and transfer).

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