Uma nova perspectiva de pesquisas na área de língua japonesa no Brasil: do ponto de vista da Lingüística Aplicada

摘要

The aim of this paper is to consider the influence of Applied Linguistics (AL) regarding the area of Japanese Language (JL) in Brazil，to classify its subareas and topics approached in the area of JL of the annals of National Meeting of University Professors of Japanese Language, Literature and Culture in the last seven years (2000-2006) and finally, to identify those that are necessary to be explored principally from the point of AL. Firstly, we briefly approached a diachronic matter and the nature of AL (compared to Linguistics) in the Brazilian context in order for us to consider its influence in the area of JL in Brazil. Our analysis revealed that a variety of subareas/topics of AL in the area of JL is still restricted and should be immediately developed scientifically and academically.
