Abstract
Applied Linguistics in South Asia has been defined as an area of activity pertaining to language-related concerns in multilingual situations. It is viewed as an interdisciplinary field where, apart from inputs from linguistics, language-related knowledge is developed and applied to language-specific practices for solving language-related problems in sites of language use. The paper looks at the commencement of modern applied linguistics in the subcontinent and highlights language-related concerns in multilingual settings in connection with language policy and minority languages; language and education; languages in contact, stylistics, and the teaching of literature; computational linguistics; language disorders; and problems in translation.
