Pragmatics - the way we communicate using more than just language -
is particularly problematic for people with speech disorders.
Through an extensive analysis of how pragmatics can go wrong, this
2007 book not only provides a clinically useful account of
pragmatic impairment, but it also throws light on how pragmatics
functions in healthy individuals. Michael Perkins brings mainstream
and clinical pragmatics together by showing that not only can our
understanding of pragmatics be aided by the study of pragmatic
impairment, but that clinical and theoretical pragmatics are better
served by treating pragmatic ability and disability within a single
framework. It is a comprehensive book aimed primarily at linguists
and psycholinguists rather than clinicians, and includes
illustrative material on conditions such as autism and aphasia and
a wide range of other communication disorders in both children and
adults.
