Applying linguistic theory to speech-language pathology: the case for nonlinear phonology
1School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Abstract:
Application of knowledge from many related fields benefits the practice of speech-language pathology. In the past 20 years, linguistic theory has provided a rich knowledge base for application. Phonological theories have provided frameworks for the description of the speech of unintelligible children in terms of coherent phonological systems, thus facilitating logical goal-setting for intervention. In this paper we suggest some of the possible implications of current nonlinear phonological frameworks for developmental phonology, and give an example of clinical application.
