Description: Written by internationally renowned academics, this volume provides a snapshot of the field of applied linguistics, and illustrates how linguistics is informing and engaging with neighbouring disciplines. Chapters in this second volume present an overview of new (and interdisciplinary) applications of linguistics to such diverse fields as economics, law, religion, tourism, media studies and health care.  Both volumes represent the best of current practice in applied linguistics, and will be invaluable to students and researchers looking for an overview of the field.
