Clinical Linguistics involves the application of linguistic
theories and procedures to the study, characterization, and
treatment of communicative disorders. Although linguists have long
applied their science to a variety of language problems, Clinical
Linguistics did not emerge as an autonomous discipline until the
publication of Crystal s influential Clinical Linguistics in 1981.
Despite its youth, this specialist area has quickly evolved into a
highly productive field of inquiry. From its inception, Clinical
Linguistics has had a strong international presence. The field is
interdisciplinary, with relevance to theoretical and applied
linguistics, speech and language therapy, psychology, and
education.
The Clinical Linguistics literature has been especially
eclectic, appearing in diverse scientific and professional
publications. Many of these sources have limited circulation, a
fact that challenges individuals and research libraries to maintain
a comprehensive collection. The primary aim of this new four-volume
Routledge collection is to assemble a representative library of the
seminal and the best cutting-edge Clinical Linguistics scholarship.
Classic works, as well as state-of-the-art data-based and
philosophical articles, are included.
Volume I is focused on the foundations of Clinical Linguistics,
particularly its conceptual, historic, and theoretical bases;
Volume II examines clinical phonetics and speech measurement, and
the phonological analysis of disordered speech. Volume III,
meanwhile, concentrates on Clinical Linguistics and language
disorders. The final volume in the collection is organized around
the educational and medical application of Clinical Linguistics, as
well as emerging issues and controversies.
