Martin J. Ball & Michael R. Perkins 
The Handbook of Clinical Linguistics 

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
