Features: This dictionary contains 2,000 entries, explaining some of the most commonly used terms in the disciplines listed above in as concise and precise language as possible. Most of these terms have already been included in the Longman Dictionary of Applied Linguistics (LDAL), but this dictionary also includes more than 500 terms that are not covered in LDAL. Additionally, some entries have been corrected. The principle for selecting terms is based on their importance in a specific field, explaining that the term has a specific meaning in that field, which other dictionaries may not provide. This dictionary only includes terms commonly used in language teaching and applied linguistics, and individual scholars' words that are not widely used are not included if their usage is not general.
