About The Product
The Handbook of Clinical Linguistics brings together an international team of contributors to create an original, in-depth survey of the field for students and practitioners of speech-language pathology, linguistics, psychology, and education.
- Explores the field of clinical linguistics: the application of the principles and methods of linguistics to the study of language disability in all its forms
- Fills a gap in the existing literature, creating the first non-encyclopedic volume to explore this ever-expanding area of linguistic concern and research
- Includes a range of pathologies, with each section exploring multilingual and cross-linguistics aspects of the field, as well as analytical methods and assessment
- Describes how mainstream theories and descriptions of language have been influenced by clinical research
