The rapid increase of interest in disordered speech and language among linguists over the past decade or so has resulted in many books of practical help to speech pathologists in terms of assessment and remediation. Little, however, has appeared to examine the theoretical implications of the interaction between these two fields. This book aims to fill this gap, by showing how speech pathology can inform linguistic theory and vice versa.

The rapid increase of interest in disordered speech and language among linguists over the last decade or so has resulted in many books of practical help to speech pathologists in terms of assessment of remediation. Little however has appeared to examine the theoretical implications of the interaction between these two fields. This book aims to fill this gap, by showing how speech pathology can inform linguistic theory and vice versa. It is written at the level of the senior student or researcher by leading workers from the UK and USA, and should represent a major advance for linguists and speech pathologists. This book should be of interest to speech therapists.
