Linguistics is a theoretical discipline, but from its beginnings it has had language learning and teaching as one of its possible applications. All speakers are familiar with the phonological phenomenon of "speaking with an accent", and similar phenomena are found in grammar (e.g. using the noun information in the plural), at the semantic level (e.g. using the word concept with the meaning 'plan') and in phraseology (e.g. saying take [up] contact instead of make contact). The structure of texts (for instance, academic papers) is also culture-specific. How can linguistics help with such problem...
Linguistics is a theoretical discipline, but from its beginnings it has had language learning and teaching as one of its possible applications. All speakers are familiar with the phonological phenomenon of "speaking with an accent", and similar phenomena are found in grammar (e.g. using the noun information in the plural), at the semantic level (e.g. using the word concept with the meaning 'plan') and in phraseology (e.g. saying take [up] contact instead of make contact). The structure of texts (for instance, academic papers) is also culture-specific. How can linguistics help with such problems? The papers in this volume show how linguistics can heighten awareness of differences, help identify false friends and interlingual grammatical differences, use computer corpora to identify problems, appreciate the relevance of universal grammar and take account of the learner's and teacher's environment. The volume as a whole is a stimulating introduction to the fascinating field of applied linguistics and second language learning.
The International Cooper Series on English Language and Literature (which appeared from 1956 to 1990 under the title "Cooper Monographs"), usually known as ICSELL, is from 2001 onwards being published by Schwabe. The series is international both in the range of scholars represented in it and in the prominence given to comparative topics from linguistics and literary studies. It encompasses the English language in all its forms and aspects and all genres of literature throughout the English-speaking world. This gives due recognition to the international status of English, something that is particularly evident in Switzerland, and, most appropriately, it is the international nature of the English language that provides the topic for the first volume to appear at the new publishers (Perspectives on English as a World Language).The editors of ICSELL are the professors of English at the University of the city variously known as Basle, Basel and Bâle, and internationally situated on the Rhine at the junction of Switzerland, Germany and France.
