Abstract There are two particularly prominent areas of empirical enquiry that are claimed to fall within the scope of applied linguistics, and in particular to address issues that have to do with foreign language pedagogy. The first is concerned with descriptions of native speaker language usage, which has gathered considerable momentum in recent years with the computer analysis of corpus data. The second is research into language learning that goes under the name of SLA. Both areas claim that their findings provide an empirical basis for how the language should be pedagogically prescribed as a subject. These claims, however, turn out to be contradictory, and a consideration of the contradiction raises critical questions about the nature of applied linguistics, customarily defined as an interdisciplinary field of enquiry directed at engaging with practical language-related problems in the real world.
