Diversity in 21st Century Linguistics

This book intends to introduce recent studies on Turkish linguistics to a wide scientific readership of graduate students and scholars maximizing interdisciplinary contributions to the literature. The primary aim is to familiarise readers with useful and applicable approaches of theoretical and applied linguistics focusing on Turkish. Since linguistics is an interdisciplinary field, students and scholars from various disciplines like interactional sociolinguistics, translation studies, education, foreign language teaching, linguistic anthropology, cultural studies, psychology might also be interested in the content. This project is mainly research based, therefore suitable as a source book rather than a course book; however, it offers a better potential for insertion into interdisciplinary graduate courses like “readings in linguistics” or seminar modules in various social sciences. The book is structured on the basis of the diversity in 21st-century linguistics, taking into consideration large thematic blocks including micro and macro approaches to linguistics, focusing on Turkish.
