This book suggests that applied linguistics research is inherently
concerned with complexity, emergence and causality, and because of
this it also requires a robust social ontology. The book identifies
and unpacks a range of conceptual issues in applied linguistics
from a social realist perspective, and provides a critique of
successionism and interpretivism as two dominant and enduring
empiricist tendencies in the field. From this critique, it
considers the emergence of complex dynamic system theory as viable
yet not entirely unproblematic conceptual sophistication of current
applied linguistics research. Although the growing popularity of
complex dynamic system theory is undeniable and understandable,
this book argues that its integration within a social realist
ontology is necessary for further developments in the field. The
book will be of interest to applied linguists and social scientists
interested in language-related issues including language learning
and teaching, language change, language policy and planning,
bilingualism/multilingualism, and language and identity.
