Recensioner i media

"Sealey and Carter should be congratulated for bridging disciplinary boundaries and attempting to provide a sociological and linguistic theory for everyone. Applied Linguistics as Social Science will come as a welcome addition to the literature of social/linguistic theory for both social scientists and applied linguists." --The Linguist List, February 2005
