Sociolinguistics, the study of the interaction of language and society, has had a major impact on linguistics for the last half-century. However, this prominent branch of the language sciences has had little contact with the field of communication disorders. Clinical Sociolinguistics, a collection of newly commissioned articles written by top scholars, is a major advance in bringing the two fields together. Part I includes chapters that outline findings from sociolinguistic research and point to the relevance of such findings for practicing speech-language pathologists. Topics discussed include bilingualism, code-switching, language planning, and a detailed look at African American English. Part II contains chapters that specifically demonstrate how these research paradigms can be applied to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in the clinical situation.

"Individuals acquire language, and lose it, in a variety ofcontexts. Gender, geography, socioeconomic status and bilingualismare all relevant to clinical reasoning about speech and languagedisorders. This timely volume is grounded in state-of-the artsociolinguistic research, but also demonstrates the application ofsociolinguistic thinking to the clinical situation. It will be aninvaluable text for those professionals faced with linguisticallyand culturally diverse client groups, and for students andresearchers in communication disorders."
