  The term of Applied Linguistics refers a study with a perspective which links both theoretical and applied scientific fields to one inseparable unity. This perspective breaks the concept which dichotomizes theoretical and applied fields. In other words, knowledge (theoretically) without its application or implementation canot be referred as a knowledge/ science, because the value of a science/ knowledge is in its application, as expressed by some experts such as Halliday (1985, p.7) that "˜[the] value of a theory lies in the use that can be made of it, and I have always considered a theory of language to be essentially consumer-oriented'.

  Linking and uniting theoretical and applied linguistics in human learning contexts have become a necessity in a linguist's pace to contribte in various contexts of national development, in which language holds a dominant and decisive role. Applied linguistics which studies phenomena and behavior of linguistic semiotics, literature and translation and everything which involves language, which occurs in various applied contexts both in educational and non-educational contexts, is expected to show its pace. In this journal, the study of applied linguistics embraces a very broad scientific fields, such as, studying language and its use in the contexts of language education, language planning, language policy, translation, lexicography, and other education in educational institutions, and also studying language and its use in various contexts of human learning which occurs in society (outside the educational institutions).
