About this ebook
Applying Linguistics: Language and the Impact Agenda explores the challenges of demonstrating the socio-cultural and economic impact of research in linguistics. The chapters provide critical discussion of the concept of impact, as well as an examination of both the constraints and opportunities of the impact agenda. The book includes:
- case studies of impact-focused research from leading scholars, such as M. Lynne Murphy, David Britain, Peter French and Bas Aarts;
- discussion of impact from the perspective of the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF);
- insights and opinions from academics, practitioners and journalists;
- personal reflection on the nature of impact from the ESRC’s Interim Chief Executive;
- practical advice on generating and evidencing impact.
With chapters from international authors exploring impact both within and outside the context of the UK REF, Applying Linguistics: Language and the Impact Agenda will be essential reading for early-career researchers, established academics and PhD students interested in developing impact from their research.
