Extract

CONTROVERSIES IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS. Barbara Seidlhofer (Ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003. Pp. ix + 346. £22.05 paper.

Echoing Bakhtin's assertion of the importance of a dialogic approach to the study of language and literature and Kramsch's (1995) view that exploring differences is more important than achieving consensus, Seidlhofer's book focuses on the analysis of a collection of readings from original works by authors with opposing views on several topics in applied linguistics.
