Book excerpt: The First Annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC) was convened in Albuquerque in 1971. It was attended by a small group of primarily practicing clinicians dedicated to meeting the human service needs of their clients, while recognizing the importance of contributing to the collective knowledge base of their discipline by providing empirical evidence supporting the links between their clinical interventions and outcomes. Thirteen years later Barlow, Hays, and Nelson (1984) would describe, in their now seminal publication The Scientist Practitioner, an integrated model of applied behavioral research, its strategies and methods, and the role of the practitioner in the acquisition of knowledge directed toward improving clinical procedures and outcomes. By this time, 13 Volumes of CAC publications had already been published and comprised the single largest source of applied clinical data addressing the nature of aphasia and its clinical management. These documents represented the product of the scientist-practitioner model in action prior to its formalization by Barlow et al., and provide a rich source of evidence supporting the efficacy of aphasia rehabilitation. Unfortunately, these and subsequent CAC publications remain unavailable to the larger clinical and scientific community due to their limited distribution. Much has changed in the ensuing years. Indeed, many of the healthcare delivery systems in which aphasia rehabilitation is now practiced in 2002 severely restrict the frequency and duration of clinical services. Increasingly, practitioners are required to be more accountable for their clinical outcomes, and to measure behavioral change in units that represent meaningful differences to consumers. Now more than ever, it is critical that the scientist-practitioner model be promoted in order to better serve individuals with aphasia, and to further advance the collective knowledge and evidence base of the discipline. Now more than ever, the available evidence needs to be disseminated as broadly as possible. These goals are in keeping with the mission of CAC as envisioned by its founding members and remain the focused commitment of its many participants, steering committee and publication board. In keeping with these goals, the papers that appear in this special edition of Aphasiology were selected based upon their theoretical importance, clinical relevance, and scientific merit, from among the many platform and poster presentations comprising the 31st Annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference held in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2001. Each paper was peer-reviewed by the Editorial Consultants and Associate Editors acknowledged herein consistent with the standards of Aphasiology and the rigours of merit review that represent this indexed, archival journal that is accessible to clinicians and scientists all over the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphasia and its treatment has undergone momentous changes which are refleted in this edition. Since the first edition was published, new technologies for analyzing the neuroanatomy of language have transformed the study of brain-language relations. To understand aphasia, one has to understand its neural basis. In a clinically relevant, straightforward manner, this text describes the neuroanatomical and neuropathologic bases and differential diagnosis of aphasia; neurologic, neuropsychologic, and language exams; the development of individualized treatment programs; the implementation of existing methods; and the neuropsychiatric, psychosocial, and legal aspects of aphasia.

Download or read book Simplified Signs A Manual Sign Communication System for Special Populations Volume 1 written by John D. Bonvillian and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simplified Signs presents a system of manual sign communication intended for special populations who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign languages. It is the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by the authors. The Simplified Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorization, and formation by limiting the complexity of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign visually resembles the meaning it conveys. Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and places the Simplified Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically and by different populations. Volume 2 presents the lexicon of signs, totalling approximately 1000 signs, each with a clear illustration and a written description of how the sign is formed, as well as a memory aid that connects the sign visually to the meaning that it conveys. While the Simplified Sign System originally was developed to meet the needs of persons with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, or aphasia, it may also assist the communication needs of a wider audience – such as healthcare professionals, aid workers, military personnel , travellers or parents, and children who have not yet mastered spoken language. The system also has been shown to enhance learning for individuals studying a foreign language. Lucid and comprehensive, this work constitutes a valuable resource that will enhance the communicative interactions of many different people, and will be of great interest to researchers and educators alike.

Download or read book Self initiated Repair by Fluent Aphasic Speakers in Conversation written by Minna Laakso and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with fluent aphasia have problems both in speaking and in understanding spoken language. Typically, their speech is replete with such errors where sounds shift, words blend, or, in the most severe cases, utterances are formed of non-existing words that sound like, but are not words of, the speaker's language. Furthermore, due to their comprehension disorder, fluent aphasics are generally considered to be unaware of the errors in their speech. Taking this into account, what form do the conversations of these speakers take? Which aphasic features trouble the conversation and how are the problems repaired? Or, are they? If fluent aphasics are not aware of their errors, why should they repair anything. This study aims to provide some new insights into fluent aphasia by looking at conversation and at self-repair in particular. The study explores the ways in which fluent aphasics deal with their aphasic speech problems in the presence of other interlocutors in conversation. In this task, the classic description of repair organisation in ordinary conversation is applied to aphasic data. The core of the work is an analysis of self-initiation and the process of repair in the speaking turn of the fluent aphasic speaker, as well as an investigation of the interaction between the aphasic and the recipient during such turns. The analysis starts by identifying aphasic word forms that may trouble the interaction, and looks at their local conversational context. In particular, the position of different aphasic words in an utterance or a turn is examined with respect to whether they are followed by self-initiation of repair. In addition, the point directly after the initiation of the repair process is inspected for the kind of actions the speaker takes and for the reactions of co-participants during the course of progressing self-repair.
Download or read book Current Trends in Greek Linguistics written by Georgia Fragaki and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current Trends in Greek Linguistics is a collection of fifteen papers written by junior researchers of Greek linguistics, aiming to highlight the ongoing linguistic research on Greek. The collected papers present original research from a fresh perspective, and bring to the fore aspects of the Greek language that have not been extensively examined so far. The authors provide a concise overview of their field and address problems in a variety of theoretical frameworks, including cognitive linguistics, formal linguistics, corpus linguistics, variational sociolinguistics and critical discourse analysis. The volume comprises four sections: Aspects of Meaning, Textual and Sociolinguistic Approaches, Phonetics and Phonology, and Clinical Linguistics and Language Teaching. The first section includes chapters exploring lexical temporal expressions, the conceptualisation of time and the semantic properties of the subjunctive mood. The second section discusses issues relating to adjective evaluation, strategies of verbal humour, the role of social variables, media and political discourse. The section on phonetics and phonology includes three experimental studies that explore segmental and supra-segmental phenomena. The last section of the volume combines papers from two different fields, dealing with aphasic speech and the teaching of idioms. This collection of papers will appeal to researchers, students of linguistics and educators who are interested in Greek and/or the implications of its study for other languages and linguistic theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together leading names in the field of bilingualism research to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Studies in Bilingualism series. Over the last 25 years the study of bilingualism has received a tremendous amount of attention from linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. The breadth of coverage in this volume is a testament to the many different aspects of bilingualism that continue to generate phenomenal interest in the scholarly community. The bilingual experience is captured through a multifaceted prism that includes aspects of language and literacy development in child bilinguals with and without developmental language disorders, language processing and mental representations in adult bilinguals across the lifespan, and the cognitive and neurological basis of bilingualism. Different theoretical approaches – from generative UG-based models to constructivist usage-based models – are brought to bear on the nature of bilingual linguistic knowledge. The end result is a compendium of the state-of-the-art of a field that is in constant evolution and that is on an upward trajectory of discovery.
