Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Other Specialty: Clinical Linguistics 

Meeting Description:

In this session we invite talks which focus on atypical language and speech -
very often found in the speech and hearing clinic but not exclusive to it -
related to all levels of language from phonetics to discourse in both production
and reception. 

The connections between language, brain and mind and its relation to human
linguistic (and non-linguistic) behavior are omnipresent and ''always there'',
and it is one of the major tasks of linguists to discover, describe and attempt
to explain these connections. This is particularly relevant when we are
confronted by human language which appears to be disordered, atypical, or
dysfunctional for organic, developmental and other diverse reasons. Research
related to brain and language contributes to assessment and recovery of speech
and language impairments and it offers insights to and an extension of
functional and formal linguistic theories.

In this session we invite talks which focus on atypical language and speech -
very often found in the speech and hearing clinic but not exclusive to it -
related to all levels of language from phonetics to discourse in both production
and reception.

Topics:

- Clinical linguistics: phonetics/phonology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics;
- Voice, speech and language pathology in children and adults;
- Audiology;
- Speech & language therapy.
