"Evaluating Theories Of Language" - книга от Ruth Campbell , которая описывает подход к изучению языка, который состоит в том, чтобы описать людей с затруднениями в общении. Некоторые исследователи утверждали, что возможно выделить компоненты психических процессов, которые влияют на способность к коммуникации, описывая, как язык может нарушаться. Другие исследователи выразили сомнения в степени, в которой данные об изменениях отражают нормальное функционирование языка. Этот том отражает проблемы создания теорий о том, как нормальный мозг использует язык на основе данных от людей с отклонениями от различных дисциплин: психолингвистики, лингвистики, нейрофизиологии и логопедии.

This collection of essays consists of papers written especially for the Special Issue of _Language Acquisition and Language Disorders_ , which also included a forum on the topic of "Target Populations, Normal Variations, and Cerebral Plasticity: Prespectives on Models of Development and Disorders of Language" edited by Walter Prechtl and Boris Waite, then at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
These essays deal with a wide variety of topics within different areas of linguistic enquiry including psycholinguistic, bilingualism, neurolinguistics and others. Two of the issues that are addressed in this collection are, firstly, the potential predictive value of theories of language when applied to cognitive models of impairment, and secondly the critique of methodological approaches to evaluating complex linguistic phenomena, specifically articulated in relation to theories of aphasiology. In addition theories concerning the development and acquisition of language are examined. Many of these theoretical ideas are contrasted within the respective chapters to provide empirical perspectives. One such study empirically investigate bilingual knowledge in type 2 aphemia of Chinese. Overall the collection showcases significant developments in different approaches regardless of the area of research.

Описание книги от Ruth Campbell
One approach to the study of language has been to describe people whose ability to communicate is impaired. Some researchers have argued that it is possible to identify the component mental processes that contribute to the ability to communicate by describing the ways in which language can break down. Other researchers have expressed doubts about the extent to which data from impairment reflects normal language function. This volume reflects the problems of constructing theory of how the normal brain deals with language from data from impaired individuals from the perspective of a range of disciplines: psycholinguistics, linguistics, neurophysiology and speech-language pathology. The chapters include critiques of methodology; application of new technology; the study of bilingual people; and cross-linguistic studies. A range of language skills is discussed (phonology, prosody, syntax, semantics, reading and spelling) in the context of both developmental and acquired impairments (hearing loss, cerebellar dysarthria, sub-cortical aphasia, cortical aphasia, phonological disorder, and dyslexia). This book icludes contributions from researchers and clinicians on both sides of the Atlantic as well as from Australia and Hong Kong.
