Chapelle -- Beyond generalizability : contextualization, complexity, and credibility in applied linguistics research / Patricia A. Duff -- Verbal protocols : what does it mean for research to use speaking as a data collection tool? / Merrill Swain -- Functional grammar : on the value and limitations of dependability, inference, and generalizability / Diane Larsen-Freeman -- A conversation analytic perspective on the role of quantification and generalizability in second language acquisition / Numa Markee -- II.

Gass -- Negotiating methodological rich points in applied linguistics research : an ethnographer's view / Nancy H. Hornberger.

Summary: Concepts such as dependability/generalization and inferences are dealt with implicitly or explicitly in any research undertaken in applied linguistics. This volume provides a well-balanced and cross-disciplinary perspective on how researchers conceptualize inferences about learner acquisition and performances as well as dependability and generalizability of findings. The book is a collection of chapters by prominent researchers in applied linguistics, working in diverse domains such as vocabulary, syntax, discourse analysis, SLA, and language testing. The goal of the book is to bring attention.
