Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is one in a series of monographs being issued under the general title of "Disorders of Human Communication". Each monograph deals in detail with a particular aspect of vocal communication and its disorders, and is written by internationally distinguished experts. Therefore, the series will provide an authoritative source of up-to-date scientific and clinical informa tion relating to the whole field of normal and abnormal speech communication, and as such will succeed the earlier monumental work "Handbuch der Stimm und Sprachheilkunde" by R. Luchsinger and G. E. Arnold (last issued in 1970). This series will prove invaluable for clinicians, teachers and research workers in phoniatrics and logopaedics, phonetics and linguistics, speech pathology, otolaryngology, neurology and neurosurgery, psychology and psychiatry, paediatrics and audiology. Several of the monographs will also be useful to voice and singing teachers, and to their pupils. G. E. Arnold, Jackson, Miss. F. Winckel, Berlin B. D. Wyke, London Preface This book tries to illustrate the practice as well as the principles involved in applying linguistics to the analysis of language disability. In writing it, I have as sumed an audience of professional speech and hearing clinicians who have had little or no formal training in linguistics. Each Chapter therefore begins with a resu me of the main theoretical and descriptive principles needed in order to carry out a clinical linguistic analysis. The relevance oflanguage acquisition studies is a major theme within this resume.

This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Methods in Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics GUIDES TO RESEARCH METHODS IN LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS “Up to date and covering a refreshingly wide range of approaches, this is a first-rate guide and resource for both practitioners and consumers of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics.” Mick Perkins, University of Sheffield “This truly outstanding collection of readings, treating a number of critical issues with great clarity, is certain to be quickly recognized as a valuable resource by the community of researchers.” Martin R. Gitterman, The City University of New York Research Methods in Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics introduces a wide range of research philosophies, methods, and tools used across linguistics, phonetics, and speech science, as applied to disordered speech and language. Comprised of sixteen chapters, each authored by specialists representing a variety of approaches, the volume addresses core topics for students `undertaking their own research, including: experimental and quasi-experimental methods qualitative methods, including ethnography and conversation analysis sociolinguistics corpus construction and analysis data recording, transcription, and digital analysis of speech In addition to exploring these and other topics, the volume considers the research ethics associated with working with those who have speech or other communication difficulties. There is a detailed discussion of the dissemination of research results in the form of theses, dissertations, and journal articles, and of the peer review process. Chapters include summary boxes to highlight salient information, and resources for researchers such as relevant web archives and tools. It offers students and researchers from a variety of entry points – such as linguistics, education, psychology, and speech pathology – an introduction to the scope of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics, and a practical guide to this interdisciplinary field.

Download or read book Investigations in Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics written by Fay Windsor and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations in Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics is a sequel to the eighth meeting of the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association, attended by delegates from 26 different countries. This book reflects the scope of the subject area of clinical phonetics and linguistics, the balance of input into it with respect to the different kinds of research being carried on, and the representation of researchers from different parts of the world. Its scope includes the application of all levels of linguistic analysis and the chapters of the book have been ordered as far as possible according to linguistic level, beginning with pragmatics and ending with acoustics. It will be immediately apparent that a greater number of chapters are concerned with applications of phonetics and phonology then with any other levels.

Download or read book Principles of Clinical Phonology written by Martin J. Ball and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those working on the description of disordered speech are bound to be also involved with clinical phonology to some extent. This is because interpreting the speech signal is only the first step to an analysis. Describing the organization and function of a speech system is the next step. However, it is here that phonologists differ in their descriptions, as there are many current approaches in modern linguistics to undertaking phonological analyses of both normal and disordered speech. Much of the work in theoretical phonology of the last fifty years or so is of little use in either describing disordered speech or explaining it. This is because the dominant theoretical approach in linguists as a whole attempts elegant descriptions of linguistic data, not a psycholinguistic model of what speakers do when they speak. The latter is what is needed in clinical phonology. In this text, Martin J. Ball addresses these issues in an investigation of what principles should underlie a clinical phonology. This is not, however, simply another manual on how to do phonological analyses of disordered speech data, though examples of the application of various models of phonology to such data are provided. Nor is this a guide on how to do therapy, though a chapter on applications is included. Rather, this is an exploration of what theoretical underpinnings are best suited to describing, classifying, and treating the wide range of developmental and acquired speech disorders encountered in the speech-language pathology clinic.

Download or read book Clinical Linguistics written by Elisabetta Fava and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002-07-18 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers different aspects of speech and language pathology and it offers a fairly comprehensive overview of the complexity and the emerging importance of the field, by identifying and re-examining, from different perspectives, a number of standard assumptions in clinical linguistics and in cognitive sciences. The papers encompass different issues in phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, discussed with respect to deafness, stuttering, child acquisition and impairments, SLI, William’s Syndrome deficit, fluent aphasia and agrammatism. The interdisciplinary complexity of the language/cognition interface is also explored by focusing on empirical data from different languages: Bantu, Catalan, Dutch, English, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. The aim of this volume is to stress the growing importance of the theoretical and methodological linguistic tools developed in this area; to bring under scrutiny assumptions taken for granted in recent analyses, which may not be so obvious as they may seem; to investigate how even apparently minimal choices in the description of phenomena may affect the form and complexity of the language/cognition interface.

Download or read book Advances in Clinical Phonetics written by Martin J. Ball and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1996-10-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Clinical Phonetics focuses on important developments in phonetic description. Recent years have seen increasing developments in phonetic description, in both instrumental and impressionistic approaches. Not restricted to the phonetics of normal speech, clinical phoneticians and speech scientists working with disordered speech, have been at the forefront of recent work. Some instrumental developments (such as electropalatography), and some transcription developments (such as extIPA symbols), have been spearheaded by clinical phoneticians. The present collection describes and explores these developments. Part one consists of major accounts of advances in clinical phonetics contributed by major international researchers: Raymond D. Kent; William Hardcastle; Martin J. Ball and John Local; and Wolfram Ziegler and Erich Hartmann. The second part comprises six chapters where such advances are illustrated in the context of specific case studies, by authors from America and Europe: Fiona Gibbon, William Hardcastle, Hilary Dent and Fiona Nixon; Marie-Thèrése Le Normand and Claude Chevrie-Muller; Kate Moore and Anna-Maja Korpijaakko-Huuhka; Martin J. Ball and Joan Rahilly; P. Dejonckere and G. Wieneke; Nigel Hewlett, Nicola Topham and Catherine McMullen; and Shaween Awan. Demonstrating the wideranging and lively nature of the field of clinical phonetics the current contributions offer building blocks for further developments in phonetic description — both improvements in instrumentation and refinements in impressionistic transcription, leading to an increase in our understanding of the speech production process, both in normal and atypical speakers.

Download or read book Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice Second Edition written by Kathy J. Jakielski and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice, Second Edition is designed to serve as an introductory, one-term textbook for undergraduate phonetics courses in communication sciences and disorders. The text introduces the fundamental tool of transcription, the International Phonetic Alphabet, while also presenting the science underlying that set of symbols. The goal of this text is to teach students how to think about the data being transcribed—in other words, how to think like a phonetician. Every chapter begins with learning objectives and an “Applied Science” feature, which presents a research- or clinical-based question that can be answered by applying the phonetic science concepts covered in that chapter. By the end of the chapter, students will revisit the question and be asked to solve the problem posed. Students studying communication sciences and disorders, practicing speech-language pathologists, and audiologists will be more successful in their clinical work if they understand the science that underlies the tool of transcription. Each chapter also offers several diverse clinical examples to review the application of concepts covered. Key Features * Focused on practical, clinical application and the information needed for clinical practice * “Did You Get It?” comprehension checks on the material throughout each chapter * “Applied Science” sections at the beginning and end each chapter to increase students’ curiosity about the topic of the chapter, concluding with real-world clinical solutions New to the Second Edition * Transcription readiness quiz (Chapter 1) with accompanying tutorials * New information about disordered speech and developmental speech errors that affect consonants (Chapter 7) and new section about developmental speech errors that affect vowels (Chapter 8) * 12 new audio case studies that students can use to practice transcribing errors in typical speech development * 12 new video case studies that students can use to practice transcribing disordered speech Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content such as study aids, flashcards, audio maps, and quizzes are not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Download or read book Case Studies in Clinical Linguistics written by Mick Perkins and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2007-11-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work aims to bring together a wide-ranging set of clinical linguistic case studies covering all levels of linguistic analysis and demonstrating the application of more than one level of linguistic analysis to individual cases. It focuses on "patient-driven" cases. The authors aim to demonstrate the collaborative nature of applied linguistics by illustrating the kind of service that speech and language therapists may reasonably ask of linguists, without feeling that they need have expertize in this area themselves. The case studies include a representative range of communication disorders and involve a wide range of areas of linguistics and phonetics. Most of the studies incoporate complementary analysis at several linguistic levels, and involve a wide variety of analytical techniques including standard assessments and profiling procedures, instrumental and computational procedures, and improvised materials tailored to the specific nature of individual cases.

Download or read book Handbook of Clinical Linguistics written by Martin J. Ball and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2025-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first edition of this Handbook was published in 2011, and the fields of clinical linguistics and clinical phonetics have developed considerably since that volume was prepared. Partly, this can be seen in the fact that this new edition has four more chapters and an extra Part than the first edition. But, more importantly, the chapters themselves record important advances in their respective areas. We were fortunate that many of the scholars who contributed to the first edition were available to update their chapters. In some cases, however, both for new chapters and where the original author was unavailable, we have recruited new contributors. The editorial team, too, has changed. Two of the original editors were not free to work on the new edition (though are still co-authors of chapters in this collection) but the new team is balanced both in terms of areas of expertise and geographical areas. Part 1 (Pragmatics, Discourse, and Sociolinguistics) has two more chapters in this edition compared to the first. Multimodal analysis of interaction - an area of recent interest in our field - has been added to this Part; also, the important topic of corpus linguistics as applied to clinical corpora is covered. Both these new chapters are authored by leading scholars in their subjects. Of the remaining chapters in Part 1, three have brand new author teams and most of the remainder have strengthened their teams with additional scholars. Part 2 (Syntax and Semantics) has ten chapters, that is, one more than the first edition. The new chapter deals with disruptions to language in the sign modality, a welcome addition to the topics covered in this part of the book. Six of the other chapters have been updated by the authors of the equivalent chapters in the first addition (some with added co-contributors), while three have new authorial teams. The original part 3 (Phonetics and Phonology) has undergone the greatest transformation. In the first edition, chapters dealing mostly with phonology were intermingled with those better classed as phonetics. For this new edition the editors decided to separate the two subject fields, at least partly due to a recognition that phonetics (unlike phonology) falls outwith the discipline of linguistics. Part 3 of this new edition, therefore, contains chapters dealing with a variety of phonological topics. Of the eleven chapters in this part, five are new and cover clinical phonology and the assessment of phonology, phonological development, and cross-linguistic aspects. One chapter from the first edition has been rewritten by a new team, and the remaining five have been updated by the original authors (some with new co-authors). Part 4 (Phonetics) contains ten chapters. A reorganization of topics since the first edition now sees three chapters dealing with instrumental analysis of speech, with the remaining topics similar to those included previously. Two of the three instrumental chapters have new author teams, with the third adding a new co-author. Three of the other chapters also have new authors, with the remaining four being written by the original authors often with new co-authors added. The Editors are proud of the Handbook's diversity, in particular, different clinical contexts, a variety of theoretical frameworks, and a range of scholarly traditions. Further, the contributors are from a number of different countries and work with numerous languages; they are from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds and include linguists, phoneticians, speech-language pathologists and psychologists. This diversity reflects the multifarious nature of clinical linguistics and communication rehabilitation. We are confident that this updated and expanded Handbook will be a valuable resource for clinicians, phoneticians, and linguists interested in looking at research in all parts of subject, reviewed and presented by the leading scholars of their areas"--

Download or read book Methods in Clinical Phonetics written by Martin J. Ball and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for the beginning student of communication disorders with a basic understanding of phonetics, or the practising speech-language therapist whose phonetic training may need updating. It introduces the reader to the main areas of phonetics, and the main methods through which the phonetician reduces speech data to a permanent record. The book, then, illustrates the three main approaches to the investigation of spoken language; articulatory, acoustic, and auditory. Further, it describes how impressionistic phonetic transcription through symbolisation differs from instrumental phonetic techniques. For each of these areas of discussion, chapters are provided that examine the general phonetic aspects, followed by chapters that illustrate their application to clinical data. The authors are both phoneticians with experience of investigating both normal and disordered speech through both impressionistic and instrumental means, and this is the first book in this market that describes a whole range of data reduction techniques and illustrates them with data relevant to the student and practitioner of communication disorders.
