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.
