Linguistics and Aphasia is a major study of recent developments in
applying psycholinguistics and pragmatics to the study of acquired
language disorders (aphasia) and their remediation.
Psycholinguistic analyses of aphasia interpret disorders in terms
of damaged modules and processes within what was once a normal
language system. These analyses have progressed to the point that
they now routinely provide a model-based rationalefor planning
patient therapy. Through a series of case studies, the authors show
how the psycholinguistic analysis of aphasia can be assessed for
its effectiveness in clinical practice.Pragmatic approaches to the
study of aphasia are of more recent origin. Ruth Lesser and Lesley
Milroy evaluate their considerable significance to the study of
aphasia and their relevance to practical issues of diagnosis and
treatment. Controversial analysis, in particular, offers a fruitful
and productive framework within which to assess the functional
adequacy of the language used by aphasic speakers in everyday
contexts.
While it is accepted that the pronunciation of English shows wide
regional differences, there is a marked tendency to under-estimate
the extent of the variation in grammar that exists within the
British Isles today. In addressing this problem, Real English
brings together the work of a number of experts on the subject to
provide a pioneer volume in the field of the grammar of spoken
English.
Authority in Language explores the perennially topical and
controversial notion of correct and incorrect language. James and
Lesley Milroy cover the long-running debate over the teaching of
Standard English in Britain and compare the language ideologies in
Britain and the USA, involving a discussion of the English-Only
movement and the Ebonics controversy. They consider the historical
process of standardisation and its social consequences, in
particular discrimination against low-status and ethnic minority
groups on the basis of their language traits. This Routledge
Linguistics Classic is here reissued with a new foreword and a new
afterword in which the authors broaden their earlier concept of
language ideology. Authority in Language is indispensable reading
for educationalists, teachers and linguists and a long-standing
text for courses in sociolinguistics, modern English grammar,
history of English and language ideology.

English, considering the scholarly activity itself as ideologically
loaded. Authority in Language is indispensable reading for

Code-switching--the alternating use of several languages by bilingual speakers--does not usually indicate lack of competence on the part of the speaker, but results from complex language skills. The reasons why people switch their codes are as varied as the directions from which linguists approach this issue. This volume of essays by leading scholars explores code-switching in particular social and institutional contexts, and brings together current research into the social, grammatical and psycholinguistic issues raised by this highly significant form of speech behavior.
