Abstract

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems. Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education, psychology, communication research, anthropology, and sociology. Theoretical Linguistics focuses on the examination of the structure of English in all its manifestations (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, grammar at large). Other branches of Applied linguistics offered are, for instance, the acquisition of a second language and sociolinguistics. applied linguistics is a branch of linguistics where the primary concern is the application of linguistic theories, methods and findings to the elucidation of language problems that have arisen in other areas of experience. Today the governing board of AILA describes applied linguistics 'as a means to help solve specific problems in society. Applied linguistics focuses on the numerous and complex areas in society in which language plays a role.'
