Description
Posthumanist Applied Linguistics offers a fresh perspective on our relationship with language and the world around us. By exploring topics such as discourse, cognition, and communication, this critical approach challenges traditional notions of human boundaries.
The book presents alternative avenues for research and education, urging readers to question their assumptions about the relationships between humans, animals, objects, and nature. From discussions of new materialisms to examinations of distributed language and assemblages, this posthumanist applied linguistics perspective is essential reading for those working in Applied Linguistics and Sociolinguistics.
