In the newly revised second edition of Introductory Linguistics for Speech and Language Clinicians and Practitioners, a team of distinguished speech researchers and clinicians deliver a practical introduction to linguistics. As a highly focused text designed to teach those aspects of linguistics that are most important in clinical practice, the book covers key concepts in morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, and pragmatics.
Each chapter demonstrates its relevance to practising speech language therapists and offers an integrated approach that incorporates relevant clinical resources. These include hands-on exercises that test the reader's understanding of foundational principles and assist in the application of this knowledge to other areas of study and practice.
Readers will also find:
A thorough introduction to linguistics concepts that speech and language therapists rely on every day
A “sandwich approach” to bridging theory and practice, involving the combination of clinical case examples with clear explanations of theory and concluding with a discussion of clinical relevance
Reinforcement exercises that help consolidate key terms, concepts, and theories
Perfect for pre-registration speech and language sciences students and newly qualified practitioners, Introductory Linguistics for Speech and Language Clinicians and Practitioners will also benefit experienced speech and language therapists seeking a refresher on important concepts, and students of linguistic theory.
