From the Back Cover

Now in its second edition and fully revised throughout, The Handbook of Clinical Linguistics contains 42 in-depth chapters written by a panel of well-established and contemporary scholars that explore the application of linguistic theory and method to the study of communication disorders. Each of this Handbook's four parts focuses on how a particular subfield of linguistics -- Pragmatics, Discourse, and Sociolinguistics; Syntax and Semantics; Phonology; and Phonetics -- is applied in the context of communication disability. The authors address a wide range of clinical topics while providing valuable insights into key theory and research, multilingual and cross-linguistic factors, practical analysis and assessment methods, and more.

Reflecting recent developments and changing perspectives in clinical linguistics, this edition features nine entirely new chapters, on clinical corpus linguistics, multimodal analysis, cognition and language, the linguistics of sign languages, clinical aspects of system and structure in phonology, typical and nontypical phonological development, clinical phonology and phonological assessment, and two chapters on instrumental analysis of voice and of speech production. Updated and expanded chapters incorporate new research in clinical linguistics and place greater emphasis on specific communication disorders, connections to literacy, and multilingualism.

Presenting timely and authoritative coverage of all major topics in the subject, The Handbook of Clinical Linguistics, Second Edition, is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students in speech-language pathology, speech therapy, communication disorders, cognitive linguistics, and neurolinguistics.
