Awesome video with a lot of really useful suggestions! I was going to suggest that a series of additional videos to expand on each of these topics would be really fascinating. Also, sociolinguistics and interventional conversation analysis are really useful on the applied side, particularly in healthcare settings. Forensic linguistics can be really interesting as well. Just tossing a couple ideas out there if you decide to do more of these informative videos. :)

can you do applied linguistics and like anthropology? Like working with ancient languages or something?

@alexusandmichi 2 ай бұрын

That’s definitely a good idea! If you want to do applied linguistics, you could probably eventually work with people that work on language revitalization programs, if you only care about the language side of things, maybe an academic career in language documentation?

Well, if you get your Ph.D., you have a great chance to get employed at the university, where you got it. If it's not the case, these chances of getting your dream job as a certified linguist shrink like...eh, sorry, I wouldn't really like to make a politically incorrect comparison here. Why is like that? Because, what gets you employed in case of a non - academic job, is EXPERIENCE. Without it, a potential employer won't even give a [sorry, I feel like using the F - word here] about your diploma. It's a fact of life.
