Linguistic typology identifies both how languages vary and what they all have in common. This book provides a survey of the aims and methods of linguistic typology, and the conclusions we can draw from them.
A wide range of topics is covered, from ideologies, policy, the law, and economics, to exposure and input, language education, measurement of bilingual abilities, attrition and forgetting, and giftedness in bilinguals.
Covers applied linguistics in action; language learning; language education; language, culture and identity; perspectives on language in use; descriptions of language for applied linguistics.
