Applications Of Linguistics

Description:
The Second International Congress of Applied Linguistics, held in Cambridge (8-12 September 1969), provided papers from all over the world to different subjects within the linguistic family. These are: linguistics applied to literary texts, computer analysis of texts, psychology of first and second language learning, speech research, technology of language learning, language teaching and test material and methodology, lexicography, theory of translation, contrastive linguistics, and sociolinguistics. This book is a fascinating and useful work of reference for all concerned with applied linguistics.
