Research Methods in Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics

GUIDES TO RESEARCH METHODS IN LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS

‘Up to date and covering a refreshingly wide range of approaches, this is a first-rate guide and
resource for both practitioners and consumers of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics.’
Mick Perkins, University of Sheffield

‘This truly outstanding collection of readings, treating a number of critical issues with
great clarity, is certain to be quickly recognized as a valuable resource by the community of
researchers.’
Martin R. Gitterman, The City University of New York

Research Methods in Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics introduces a wide range of research philosophies, methods, and tools used across linguistics, phonetics, and speech science, as applied to disordered speech and language. Comprised of sixteen chapters, each authored by specialists representing a variety of approaches, the volume addresses core topics for students `undertaking their own research, including:

* experimental and quasi-experimental methods

* qualitative methods, including ethnography and conversation analysis

* sociolinguistics

* corpus construction and analysis

* data recording, transcription, and digital analysis of speech

In addition to exploring these and other topics, the volume considers the research ethics associated with working with those who have speech or other communication difficulties. There is a detailed discussion of the dissemination of research results in the form of theses, dissertations, and journal articles, and of the peer review process. Chapters include summary boxes to highlight salient information, and resources for researchers such as relevant web archives and tools. It offers students and researchers from a variety of entry points – such as linguistics, education, psychology, and speech pathology – an introduction to the scope of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics, and a practical guide to this interdisciplinary field.
