“…In terms of the conventional disciplinary boundaries and the classical linguistic perspectives, critical applied linguistics is a transgressive approach of applied linguistics by linking language issues to general social issues (Berns & Matsuda, 2006) that include fake news, information manipulation, strategic silence, low-quality news, journalists’ job security, etc. in the journalistic context.…”

There is a need for a conceptual framework and transdisciplinary construction to help understand and instruct automated news production for integrating AI into news routines. Using a conceptual method, this article attempts to explicate the journalistic background of automated news production and proposes a methodology of artificial language philosophy and a therapeutic approach. We argue that the methodology for automated news production should be able to demystify the technological process and clarify the relationship between AI and human journalists. The article introduces linguistics and narratology to decipher the process of automated news production and finally summarizes the typical narratives for automated news production. This article’s ultimate contribution is offering a transdisciplinary perspective to dissect automated news production for further studies.

“…In 1965 self-citations comprised 57% of all citations in our applied linguistics corpus, an astonishing statistic explained by the infant status of the field at that time. Applied linguistics only began to emerge in the late 1960s, slowly establishing its own identity as an interdisciplinary field distinct from formal linguistics and concerned with real-world language problems such as policy, second language acquisition and teaching (Berns & Matsuda 2006). In 1965 there was no distinct literature to speak of and few authors publishing so that self-citation was almost a necessity in gaining traction for these new socially-relevant issues.…”

Self-citations are a familiar, if sometimes controversial, element of academic knowledge construction and reputation-building, contributing to both the cumulative nature of academic research and helping writers to promote their scientific authority and enhance their careers. As scholarly publications become more specialized, more collaborative and more important for promotion and tenure, we might expect self-citation to play a more visible role in published research and this paper explores this possibility. Here we trace patterns of self-citation in papers from the same five journals in four disciplines at three time periods over the past 50 years, selected according to their impact ranking in 2015. We identify a large increase in self-citations although this is subject to disciplinary variation and tempered by a huge rise in citations overall, so that self-citation has fallen as a proportion of all citations. We attempt to account for these changes and give a rhetorical explanation for authorial practices.

“…Dealing with language, ELT was forced to be rooted in theoretical linguistics (Berns & Matsuda, 2006;Strevens, 1992). Therefore, to consolidate itself, ELT had to be completely dependent on the concepts proposed by linguistics.…”

Abstract-As a unique approach in today's language teaching methodology, Philosophy-based Language Teaching (PBLT) engages learners in dialogues using philosophical question and answer activities to tackle the process of language learning in ELT classes. Accordingly, the present study sought to illuminate the practical ways through which PBLT could be utilized to put Applied ELT into practice. In so doing, the key is to redefine the inherent roles of both English learners and practitioners in an Applied ELT classroom. Bringing a bulk of sample philosophical questions, the paper provides the following recommendations to implement PBLT in Applied ELT classes. First, ELT life syllabus can be designed using the principles of PBLT approach. Second, while dealing with language skills, material designers might reshape the common pre and post task activities including life-related philosophical questions. Moreover, as males and females have different points of view towards life issues, materials should provide a platform to augment learners' thoughts through sharing ideas of both genders in the classroom in answering philosophical questions. Third, along with cross-cultural approaches, PBLT can aid life syllabus design which assists learners to consider themselves as an active member of local and global communities all around the world.
