About the Book
This is the first of its kind textbook for Language Disorders in Chinese Children and Adults.
This book fills a gap in the field and represents the latest research in Chinese language disorders in children and adults by more than 20 scholars from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States. It features single case and group studies addressing theoretical and clinical issues relevant to understanding specific language impairment in children and adults, developmental dyslexia, phonological impairment in children and adults, acquired dyslexia and dysgraphia, deficits in word and narrative production in adults, and the relationship between memory and language impairment. While the focus of most chapters is on monolingual speakers, this volume concludes with a study of language impairments in bilingual speakers who are largely neglected in the research literature.
