11、ode of its enquiry is such as to give only a restricted account of experienced language 23 Widdowson 2000 5 No matter how extended the scope of linguistics into the real world its unmediated application can never become applied linguistics because it will always represent that reality linguistically
12、 on its own terms and in its own terms 24 Widdowson 2000 7 Corpus linguistics cannot produce ethnographic descriptions of language use it deals with the textually attested but not with the encoded possible nor the contextually appropriate The linguistics of the attested is just the linguistics of th
13、e possible 25 Widdowson 2000 7 Whether you are dealing with the possible or the attested you still have to make them appropriate for learning And it is just such conditions that applied linguistics has somehow to take cognizance of 26 Widdowson 2000 23 Corpus linguistics assumes the appropriate can
14、be derived from the attested and critical linguistics assumes that the appropriate can be derived from the possible Both claim that they reveal the reality of experienced language But neither of them does in fact engage with the reality of language as experienced by users and learners 27 Indeed they
15、 distance themselves from it and produce an analytic construct which then effectively project reality in its own image In both cases we get linguistics applied Their findings are partial and conditional on a particular perspective Such a perspective has its own validity but this is relative and not
16、absolute and it is of value because it provokes us to consider how it relates to others 28 Widdowson 2000 23 If applied linguistics is to have any occupation it must avoid and indeed resist the deterministic practices of linguistics applied Its only claim to existence as a field of enquiry must rest on its readiness to enquire critically into the relevance of linguistic theory and description to the reformulation of language problems in the practical domain Such an enquiry has to be linguistical
