Review Quotes:
"The editors of this handbook have superbly managed to embed the study of speech and language disorders in state-of-the art psycholinguistics and cognitive science. Some 70 authors, leaders in their field from both sides of the Atlantic, jointly produced a text which is unmatched in its broad, interdisciplinary perspective. It will be indispensible not only for students of communication disorders, but also for all psycholinguists who realize that the phenomena of dysfunctioning are as relevant to their science as is normal language processing." - Willem J. M. Levelt, Ph.D., Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Netherlands
