Description
This work will provide readers with uniquely systematic coverage of the field of speech and language pathology. Taking as its starting
point the highly successful Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, the book comprises selected updates from the original
work combined with a high proportion of newly commissioned material which together give a comprehensive overview of the state of the
art in speech and language pathology. The work is the most up-to-date and detailed reference available in this field.
The book addresses
all main aspects related to speech and language comprehension and production, both in children and in normal adults. It also presents
in a systematic way disorders of speech and language due to developmental and acquired causes, the most common forms of treatment and
their degree of efficacy.
Audience
For academic libraries serving researchers and students in all fields of linguistics and psychology, researchers and students in speech
and language pathology and therapy, neurology, audiology and pediatrics, researchers in the educational sciences, the philosophy of language
and the application of computers in the treatment of communication disorders.
