Trans- has become both a core concept and a buzzword in Applied Linguistics. However, unlike recent terms such as translanguaging, transdisciplinarity has a fifty-year tradition. The article outlines the history of this research framework and its intrinsic relation to our field. In doing so, it explains the perfect match of transdisciplinary research and Applied Linguistics – especially if we understand Applied Linguistics in a broad sense, as “dealing with practical problems of language and communication that can be identified, analysed or solved by applying available theories, methods and results […] or by developing new theoretical and methodological frameworks” (www.aila.info, 2021-01-07). |
