Practical Linguistics and Language Innovation

Practical Linguistics and Language Innovation explores the application of linguistic theories and research to solve real-world language-related problems. This field combines traditional linguistic study with innovative approaches to language use, focusing on areas like language teaching, language technology, translation, and communication strategies. It examines how linguistic tools and methodologies can be employed to enhance language learning, improve cross-cultural communication, and develop new technologies such as speech recognition, machine translation, and natural language processing. Through practical applications, this field seeks to address current challenges in multilingual societies, digital communication, and language accessibility.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Practical Linguistics and Language Innovation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Applied phonetics
