Abstract

This chapter is the first step to eradicating ‘language blindness’ (a proclivity for overlooking language use) within threshold concept research. Through an analysis of learners’ knowledge and language practices within the liminal space, it is hoped that insight might be gained into the discourse necessary to acquire troublesome knowledge. Though approached from the perspective of an applied linguist, this chapter offers some understanding of the discourse of the liminal space which is pertinent and applicable to learners in all disciplines.
