This book has been written by practicing clinicians and researchers who are closely involved with individuals who have disorders of communication. The first section provides an overview of basic issues and terminology in clinical linguistics; the second section discusses the purpose and value of assessing specific aspects of an individual's linguistic ability and evaluates mainstream linguistic assessment procedures. The third section reviews the impact that modern linguistics is having on clinical intervention. For this 2nd edition, the book has been updated to take into account recent research developments and there is a new chapter on the assessment of speech perception.
