Standard Language Ideology and the Non-Standard Adolescent Speaker

Abstract

Voices and Practices in Applied Linguistics: Diversifying a Discipline comprises a selection of original research and commentary in the diverse field of Applied Linguistics. It is a unique collection of reflections and cutting-edge research relating to academic, policy and professional dimensions of Applied Linguistics, featuring chapters written by pioneers in the area, established researchers, and rising stars. This accessible, eclectic and forward-looking volume is significant both for research and practice. It highlights current globalised perspectives on diversity in language use and communication across a variety of contexts, and with a rich mix of frameworks, methodologies and participants. Chapters in the volume draw upon papers from the 2017 British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL) conference, which marked the 50th anniversary of its inaugural meeting. Founded in the mid-1960s, this UK-based professional association provides a forum for Applied Linguistics and its annual meeting brings together researchers and language professionals. Compiled and edited by a team of academic experts in the field, this collection will be of interest to established and emerging researchers in Applied Linguistics globally. It will also be relevant to language professionals, practitioners, and policy makers.
