Researching Generative AI in Applied Linguistics presents a sample of research on how generative AI (GenAI) performs for addressing issues in applied linguistics. The chapters are based on selected presentations from the 2024 Technology for Second Language Learning hybrid conference held at Iowa State University, October 24-26. They are organized into three sections that examine 1) GenAI for language learning, 2) GenAI in language assessment, and 3) the linguistic capabilities of GenAI with respect to variation, subjectivity, and pragmatics in language performance. Together, the chapters illustrate the roles GenAI may play in applied linguistics practice and underscore the need for empirical research on each one.

The Qashqai community stands as one of Iran’s diverse ethnic groups, boasting its own unique language, customs, and heritage. Spread across various regions of Iran, notably the Fars Province in the south, where the Qashqai tribe predominantly resides, a plethora of Iranian local attire emerges, often labeled as traditional garb, regional apparel, or Turkish attire. Crafted predominantly from indigenous fabrics, these garments are a testament to the tribe’s cultural essence, characterized by distinct motifs and tailored to suit the local climate. Despite historical interventions by the government, which at times favored Western fashion trends over traditional attire during the 20th century, the allure of these indigenous clothing styles endures as a cornerstone of the Qashqai tribe’s cultural heritage well into the 21st century. The purpose of this oral history project is to document contemporary Qashqai women and their experiences with traditional dress through the oral history method.

جامعه قشقایی یکی از اقوام متنوع ایران است که زبان، آداب و رسوم و میراث منحصر به فرد خود را به نمایش می‌گذارد. شامل بیش از 250 طایفه مجزا است و هر طایفه  دارای روایت تاریخی غنی و حماسه مهاجرت است. در مناطق مختلف ایران، در جنوب به ویژه استان فارس، جایی که ایل قشقایی عمدتاً در آن سکونت دارند، انبوهی از لباس‌های محلی ایرانی پدیدار می‌شود که اغلب به عنوان لباس سنتی، لباس محلی یا لباس ترکی شناخته می‌شوند. این لباس‌ها به‌طور عمده از پارچه‌های بومی ساخته شده‌اند و شاهکاری از جوهر فرهنگی این قبیله هستند که با نقش‌ها و طرح‌های متمایز مشخص شده‌اند و به‌گونه‌ای طراحی شده‌اند که با اقلیم محلی سازگار باشند. علیرغم مداخلات تاریخی دولت، که در برخی مواقع در طول قرن بیستم، گرایش‌های مد غربی را بر لباس‌های سنتی ترجیح می‌داد، جذابیت این سبک‌های لباس بومی به عنوان سنگ بنای میراث فرهنگی ایل قشقایی تا قرن بیست و یکم باقی ماند. هدف این پروژه مستندسازی زنان معاصر قشقایی و تجربیات آنها از پوشش سنتی به روش تاریخ شفاهی است.

The monograph discusses certain aspects of modern real-world problems facing humanity, which are much more challenging than scientific ones. Modern science is unable to solve them in a fundamental way. Vernadsky’s noosphere thesis, in fact, appeals to the scientific worldview that needs to be built in a way that overcomes the interdisciplinary barriers and increases the effectiveness of interdisciplinary interaction and modern science overall. We are talking about the general transdisciplinary knowledge. In world practice, there is still no systematic methodology and a specific form of generally accepted valid scientific theory that would provide transdisciplinary knowledge. Non-linear interdisciplinary interaction is the standard of evolution of modern science. At the same time, a new transdisciplinary theory (domain of scientific research) is being de facto created and the process is repeated many times: from an individual or group of disciplines, through interdisciplinary interaction, in a direction that brings us closer to creating a holistic general scientific worldview.

This book was created by the group of Changing the Gap Parents Book Club, happened in Ames, Iowa in 2020. We first developed the idea of the Korean parents’ book club came by the research findings that parents are the main Heritage culture provider for immigrant children, but the first-generation parents of immigrant youth have difficulty accessing and understanding second-generation children’s experience in or out of USA schools due to language barriers and cultural differences. Particularly, Korean immigrant parents, those from one of the least diverse countries in the world, tend to have a shortage of authentic knowledge and experience of racial, cultural and linguistic diversity. In this book club, the Korean parents read children’s books about diversity and Korean Americans and went forward to create a story that Korean American children can make a good connection with. This book is full of the parents’ efforts to make connections to their children and full of the parents’ hearts to support all Asian American students to grow their true dreams no matter what obstacles they encounter.

Throughout most of his adult life, Jacob Peter Anderson devoted his major energies to the study of the Alaskan flora. His ultimate objective was to provide a usable Flora of Alaska, The Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories west of Hudson's Bay. During the years 1942–53, while he was resident at Iowa State, he published nine fascicles of a preliminary version of this Flora, covering only Alaska, the Yukon Basin, and northwestern British Columbia. At the time of his death, Dr. Anderson was working on a revision of his Flora, to include the territory between Alaska and Hudson's Bay.

Permanent slides for microscopic study are indispensable in the teaching of a basic course in botany and also in specialized advanced courses. In some advanced courses, the students prepare many of the slides used in the course, but in elementary courses the slides are furnished. In the latter case, the slides either are purchased from commercial sources or made in the departmental laboratory.

The American Farm Economic Association has carefully assembled this book of readings on agricultural marketing, with the hope that the present book will be useful to graduate students, researchers, administrators, and economists in the dis- tributive trades. Such persons are finding it increasingly difficult to keep in touch with the numerous books, reports, and scientific papers dealing with agricultural marketing. The readings in this book were selected to cover a wide range of subject matter, to give different points of view on some controversial matters, and to illustrate new and promising techniques of economic research. In like fashion, the Association earlier had sponsored (1949) Readings on Agricultural Policy, edited by Professor 0. B. Jesness.
