RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Tools for English-Spanish cross-linguistic applied research A1 Rabadán Álvarez, Rosa A2 Filologia Inglesa K1 Lengua inglesa K1 Traducción e interpretación K1 Investigación K1 Lingüística contrastiva AB Empirically- based, cross-linguistic research should have a central role to play in offering solutions to applied problems. However, this role remains largely unexploited and the transformation of contrastive descriptive findings into useful applications has received little attention. Applied professionals looking for useful and reliable aids to assist them in their cross-linguistic routines see their needs ignored as suppliying solutions is not generally considered as part of the research process. Part of the problem derives from the inadequacy of the existing tools for turning declarative knowledge into performative knowledge to serve particular applied purposes. This paper aims at re-defining the role of both new and already existing tools in terms of their contribution to applied research PB Universidad de La Rioja YR 2018 FD 2018-05-03 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/7790 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/7790 NO Journal of English Studies, 2005-2008, n. 5 – 6 NO p. 309-324 DS BULERIA.
