Abstract:

This volume offers speech and language practitioners an accessible
entry into the complex linguistic landscape of North America in order
to improve the identification of speech disorders in children from
diverse language communities.
Written by practitioners and members of these communities, the
chapters explore well-known but understudied linguistic varieties of
English, Indigenous languages in North America and emerging language
varieties. Each chapter describes the culture and context of the
language variety and the unique features of its phonology and
developmental progression, before detailing the clinical implications
for both research and practice.
The book promotes culturally responsive practices and highlights how
understanding these linguistic varieties can enhance the accuracy of
identification, diagnosis and treatment for children with speech and
language disorders. This introduction to the linguistic diversity of
North America is key reading for researchers, students and
practitioners in speech and language sciences.
