An Ethno-Social Approach to Code Choice in Bilinguals Living with Alzheimer’s
This book examines the under-researched field of communication by bilingual people with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT). The aging population is increasingly affected by neurocognitive diseases such as DAT, and over the past 30 years, the growing research body concerned with monolingual DAT discourses has seen significant growth. The findings from monolingual studies and institutional settings highlight the importance of code choice for a person’s sense of autonomy, especially against the background of changing communicational abilities. Adding a new perspective, this book investigates how ten Puerto Rican speakers living with varying stages of DAT draw on their bilingual resourc...
Phonology for Communication Disorders
This textbook describes the approaches to phonology that are most relevant to communication disorders. It examines schools of thought in theoretical phonology, and their relevance to description, explanation and remediation in the clinical context. A recurring theme throughout the book is the distinction between phonological theories that attempt elegant, parsimonious descriptions of phonological data, and those that attempt to provide a psycholinguistic model of speech production and perception. This book introduces all the relevant areas of phonology to the students and practitioners of speech-language pathology and is a companion volume to the authors’ Phonetics for Communication Disorders.
The Handbook of Language and Speech Disorders

Contributions from leading experts explore current issues, landmark studies, and the main topics in the field, and include relevant information on analytical methods and assessment. A series of foundational chapters covers a variety of important general principles irrespective of specific disorders. These chapters focus on such topics as classification, diversity considerations, intelligibility, the impact of genetic syndromes, and principles of assessment and intervention. Other chapters cover a wide range of language, speech, and cognitive/intellectual disorders.

This book reviews contemporary uses of phonetic transcription in dictionaries, language teaching texts, phonetic and phonological studies, dialectology and sociolinguistics, speech pathology and therapy, and forensic phonetics. Heselwood surveys the history of attempts to represent speech, considering the relationship of trans...

Die Sprachpolitik des Europarats
Im heutigen Europa bilden langlebige und virulente Sprachkonflikte ein erhebliches Störpotential für die europäische Einigung. Daher will die „Europäische Charta der Regional- oder Minderheitensprachen“ des Europarats ein sprachplanerisches Instrument zum Schutz der kulturellen Vielfalt Europas und zur friedlichen Lösung solcher Konfliktsituationen sein. Die Charta, die bereits in 25 Staaten zur Anwendung kommt und sich in ein umfangreiches Dispositiv sprachrechtlicher Grundsätze und Regelungen einschreibt, wurde jedoch bisher nur unzureichend aus linguistischer und juristischer Perspektive analysiert und bewertet. Die Beiträge prüfen die der Charta zugrunde liegenden kulturell geprägten Kriterien des Sprachenschutzes sowie die sprachplanerische „Technologie“ ihrer praktischen Umsetzung. Anhand einer Fülle konkreter Fallbeispiele wird die Frage beantwortet, inwieweit die Konzepte und Maßnahmen der Charta die Komplexität heutiger europäischer Mehrsprachigkeitssituationen adäquat erfassen und überzeugende Lösungen für Sprachkonfliktsituationen bieten können.
