Definition and The Scope of Applied Linguistic

Definitions of applied linguistics

The term 'applied linguistics' refers to a broad range of activities which involve solving some language-related problem or addressing some language-related concern. It appears as though applied linguistics, at least in North America, was first officially recognized as an independent course at the University of Michigan in 1946.

Applied linguistics is an umbrella term that covers a wide set of numerous areas of study connected by the focus on the language that is actually used. The emphasis in applied linguistics is on language users and the ways in which they use languages, contrary to theoretical linguistics which studies the language in the abstract not referring it to any particular context, or language, like Chomskyan generative grammar for example.

galauers? ogah ah

ysejak istilah ‘galau’ merajalele eh rajalela, dalam satu harinya udah ga keitung lagi brapa orang yang ngeluh galau di sejumlah jejaring sosial. yaaaa itu lah anak jaman sekarang. udah bangga banget kayaknya kalau uda ngrasa galau trus update status “galau nich”. ga punya pacar, galau. punya pacar, juga masih galau. ga punya duit, galau. banyak tugas, galau, ga bisa shopping, galau. bngung mau pke baju ap, galau. smpe2 mau mau kentut aja bisa galau. baru2 ini muncul komunitas galauers. terdirinya komunitas biasanya karena ada kesamaan interest. lha trus yang ini? sama2 hobi galau? sebernya fenomena ini juga bisa dibilang merusak esensi dari istilah galau sendiri. kenapa? karena jaman dulu, istilah galau hanya digunakan di lagu atau tulisan puitis. sekarang? dikit2 galau. ga asik lo. galau c boleh2 aja. tp ya gak gitu2 jugaaaa kaleee. sebagai generasi muda yang lincah dan terampil, marilah kita semua jauhi sifat galau. karena itu telah merusak harkat dan martabat kesehatan psikologis kita. camkan itu, anak muda.
