INFERENCE AND GENERALIZABILITY IN APPLIED LINGUISITCS: MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES.Micheline Chalhoub-Deville, Carol Chapelle, and Patricia Duff (Eds.). Amsterdam: Benjamins, 2006. Pp. 249. $42.95 paper.

This volume is a collection of 10 chapters by leading specialists in applied linguistics. Generalizability is defined as “the extent to which research results can justifiably be applied to a situation beyond the research setting” (p. 3). Inferences are the links that the researcher makes between observations of the learners' data and their interpretation as evidence of theoretical arguments.
