About the Book
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

Review :
"This collection performs a rite of passage: clinical linguistics
has come of age." David Crystal, University of Wales, Bangor
"The range of topics represented here, and the quality of the
contributions, underline the advances Clinical Linguistics has made
in three decades. This volume will for some time be the benchmark
against which others in the field will be evaluated." Paul
Fletcher, University College Cork
