Linguistics for Clinicians: A Practical Introduction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780340758960)

Linguistics for Clinicians provides an introduction to linguistic analysis in the clinical context. The book draws on a range of linguistic theories and descriptions, equipping readers with a conceptual toolkit that will enable them to analyse data systematically, pick out significant patterns that can give them clinically relevant cues, build explicit arguments to back up their observations and hypotheses, and select relevant linguistic items for assessment and therapy tasks. Linguistics for Clinicians is aimed at students and teachers on clinical courses, and provides a useful resource for practising clinicians, psycholinguistics students and researchers in language impairments.
