Description

Linguistics for Clinicians provides an introduction to linguistic analysis in the clinical context. This book equips readers with a conceptual toolkit to systematically analyse data and identify clinically relevant cues. It covers standard concepts in syntax, including event structure, verb complements, auxiliary systems, and sentence rhythmic patterns. Clinical relevance is a central theme throughout the book, with examples of linguistic concepts in their clinical use. Analytical tips are included to help anticipate and deal with common problems of clinical application. Extensive exercises further illustrate the use of linguistic concepts in data analysis and task construction, making this book a useful resource for students, teachers, practising clinicians, psycholinguistics students, and researchers in language impairments.
