Last week I posted the following query: >A colleague has asked me to post the following request: >Can anyone suggest suitable reading material, approximately 500 pages, >about "clinical linguistics", i.e., linguistics as a basis for speech >therapists/correctionists? No previous knowledge of linguistics should >be presupposed. The language should be English (or a Scandinavian >language, but we more or less know that such material does not exist >in those languages).
