E-grāmata: Language Disorders in Speakers of Chinese

This outstanding book contains data and analyses from distinguished native-speaker contributors and their colleagues. Because Chinese differs dramatically from European languages, these lucid presentations challenge theorists and practitioners of all theoretical persuasions. This is essential reading even for language professionals who never expect to deal with Chinese at first hand. -- Lise Menn, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, Fellow, Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Colorado, Associate Editor of Aphasiology Lucid, conceptually rich and clinically useful, this volume probes areas of childhood and adult communication disorders where Chinese may differ interestingly from the more-studied languages in our field. -- Loraine K. Obler, Distinguished Professor, Program in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, CUNY Graduate Center Splendid! This volume, with its timely topic, reputable editors, and outstanding contributors, not only fills an existing gap but also breaks new ground in the comparative study of language disorders. -- Ping Li, Professor of Psychology and Linguistics, Pennsylvania State University, Editor of Bilingualism: Language and Cognition The authors of this volume have succeeded in organizing a diverse array of material into a contemporary and highly readable text for clinicians and researchers everywhere about language disorders in speakers of Chinese. -- Bradley McPherson, Honorary Director, Centre for Communication Disorders, The University of Hong Kong
