Posthumanist Applied Linguistics

Posthumanist Applied Linguistics offers us alternative ways of thinking about the human predicament, with major implications for research, education and politics. Exploring the advent of the Anthropocene, new forms of materialism, and the boundaries between humans, other animals and objects, eight chapters by one of the foremost applied linguistics open up profound questions to do with language and the world. This posthumanist applied linguistic perspective is essential reading for all researchers and students in the fields of Applied Linguistics and Sociolinguistics.
