Rezensionen

"Individuals acquire language, and lose it, in a variety ofcontexts. Gender, geography, socioeconomic status and bilingualismare all relevant to clinical reasoning about speech and languagedisorders. This timely volume is grounded in state-of-the artsociolinguistic research, but also demonstrates the application ofsociolinguistic thinking to the clinical situation. It will be aninvaluable text for those professionals faced with linguisticallyand culturally diverse client groups, and for students andresearchers in communication disorders."
