APPLIED LINGUISTICS AS A SCIENCE Lecture 1. By Iryna Biskub

Language is at the heart of human life: Family relations Making friends Learning Falling in love Being a parent Holding or rejecting religious faith Having political ideas or taking political actions

Intrinsic human activities: Language is used To gossip and chat Flirt and seduce Play games Sing songs Tell stories Teach children Worship gods Insult enemies Pass on information Make deals Remember the past Lament the dead

AL Applied Linguistics is an academic discipline concerned with the relation of knowledge about language to decision making in the real world (Guy Cook, Applied Linguistics. – Oxford: OUP, 2003)

AL Applied Linguistics – the application of linguistic knowledge to some object. AL is an activity, not a theoretical study. It makes use of the findings of theoretical studies. The applied linguist is a consumer, or user, not a producer of theories (S. Pit Corder Introducing Applied Linguistics. – Penguin Books Inc. , 1973).

AL AL is theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue (Brumfit, 1997) AL is using what we know about a) language, b) how it is learned, and c) how it is used, in order to achieve some purpose or solve some problem in the real world (Schmitt and Celce-Murcia 2002). The focus of AL is on trying to resolve languagebased problems that people encounter in the real world, whether they be learners, teachers, supervisors, academics, lawyers, service providers, those who need social services , etc. (Grabe 2002).

AL AL aims at suggesting the mechanisms of the utilization of linguistic knowledge to resolve different practical tasks. Modern AL covers all methods of language-data processing (NLP), automatic speech recognition, machine translation (MT), automatic data classification, automatic text annotation, automatic coding of language data, etc. . (В. А. Звегинцев Теоретическая и прикладная лингвистика. – М. : Просвещение, 1968)

AL Applied Linguistics is a part of linguistic studies developing the methods for solving the practical tasks related to the optimization of the use of language as a primary communication means. Modern AL does not only use the achievements of Theoretical Linguistics, but influences greatly on its development, since any practical task needs special methodology for its solution. (А. Е. Кибрик Очерки по общим и прикладным вопросам языкознания. – М. : URSS, 2005).

AL Al is a scientific activity of how to apply the knowledge about language structure and functioning to non-linguistic scientific disciplines, and to different spheres of human activity. AL gives a theoretical re-thinking of all types of language activities. (А. Н. Баранов Введение в прикладную лингвистику. – М. : Эдиториал УРСС, 2001)

AL A wide scope of problems that covers modern AL enables it to enlarge and facilitate the connections between linguistics and other sciences. (Городецкий Б. Ю. Актуальные проблемы прикладной лингвистики // Новое в зарубежной лингвистике. Вып XII. – М. , 1983)

AL Applied (Computational, Engineering) Linguistics is a science on the borderline between the Humanities and Information Technologies. AL suggests the mechanisms of computers’ performing human intellectual tasks Its main branches are: Automatic Speech Synthesis and Recognition, Automatic Text Processing, Automatic Information Searching, Computer Dictionaries Compilation, Automatic Annotation, MT, Lexical aspects of Automatic Government Systems, Scientific Terminology Standardization. (В. Г. Волошин Комп’ютерна лінгвістика. – Суми: Університетська книга, 2004)

AL AL is a brunch of Linguistics, whose main task is to develop automatic and non-automatic technologies for Natural Language Processing (NLP) to be used in different brunches of social life. The main spheres to use these technologies are: Accumulating and preserving language information Information Transfer Linguistic Text Processing The use of language in mass-media. (З. В. Партико Прикладна і комп’ютерна лінгвістика. – Львів: Афіша, 2008).

Conclusion AL sets out to investigate scientific, educational, and social problems in the world in which language is implicated
