Applied linguistics is the best single label to represent a wide
range of contemporary research at the intersection of linguistics,
anthropology, psychology, and sociology, to name a few. The
Handbook of Japanese Applied Linguistics reflects crosscurrents in
applied linguistics, an ever-developing branch/discipline of
linguistics. The book is divided into seven sections, where each
chapter discusses in depth the importance of particular topics,
presenting not only new findings in Japanese, but also practical
implications for other languages. Section 1 examines first language
acquisition/development, whereas Section 2 covers issues related to
second language acquisition/development and
bilingualism/multilingualism. Section 3 presents problems
associated with the teaching and learning of foreign languages.
Section 4 undertakes questions in corpus/computational linguistics.
Section 5 deals with clinical linguistics, and Section 6 takes up
concerns in the area of translation/interpretation. Finally,
Section 7 discusses Japanese sign language. Covering a wide range
of current issues in an in an in-depth, comprehensive manner, the
book will be useful for researchers as well as graduate students
who are interested in Japanese linguistics in general, and applied
linguistics in particular. Chapter titles Chapter 1. Cognitive
