Katie--<br> in my book (Prsm of Grammar)---I devote a whole chapter to the discussion of communication disorders and particularly<br>the important role of quantifiers in disorders--but I take the opposite tack, if it interests you, namely to<br>
try to explain the crucial ideas with as little special terminology as possible. The book has been used by 7th graders<br>as well as college students in intro lingusitics classes---as well as by graduate students--if that is helpful.<br>
But I sypathize with your desire not to have people overwhelmed with words when what they need to do is<br>really grasp new ideas.<br><br>Tom Roeper<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 11:36 AM, Katie Alcock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:k.j.alcock@lancaster.ac.uk">k.j.alcock@lancaster.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">As someone who also teaches adult psycholinguistics and language disorders, I’d be really interested if anyone has a recommendation for a book that explains all these terms in a more general context (but briefly, as pointing my students towards an introductory linguistics text has generally led them to become overwhelmed in the past).<div class="im">
