Abstract:

Many children and adults experience significant breakdown in the use
of language. The resulting pragmatic disorders present a considerable
barrier to effective communication. This book is the first critical
examination of the current state of our knowledge of pragmatic
disorders and provides a comprehensive overview of the main concepts
and theories in pragmatics. It examines the full range of pragmatic
disorders that occur in children and adults and discusses how they are
assessed and treated by clinicians. Louise Cummings attempts to
integrate the fields of pragmatics, language pathology and cognitive
science by examining the ways in which pragmatics can make a useful
contribution to debates about cognitive theories of autism. The reader
is encouraged to think in a critical fashion about how clinicians,
experimentalists and theorists deal with pragmatic issues.
