Abstract
This paper starts with the assumption that there is a specific tradition of applied linguistics coming from British empiricism, which, since the 19th century, has been resting on an original conception of the articulation between general and descriptive linguistics, and between theory, practice and applications. This articulation is addressed by surveying the work of three linguists, Henry Sweet, John Rupert Firth and MAK Halliday, who successively thought out this articulation at transitional periods marked by crucial technogical innovations.
