Biography
Martin J. Ball is Professor of Speech Language Pathology, specializing in clinical linguistics and phonetics, at Linköping University in Sweden. He has previously held positions in Wales, Ireland, and the US.
'Principles of Clinical Phonology is impressive, comprehensive, and nothing like other books on speech sound disorders. What is most compelling about it is that it considers the application of phonological/phonetic analysis to a variety of populations: child, adult, acquired, and developmental. Typically books on disorders consider only one population and, in that manner, miss the big picture.' –Marie Klopfenstein, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA
'Martin J. Ball draws on his vast knowledge of theoretical and clinical phonetics, phonology, and linguistics to unravel international and interdisciplinary nuances of terminology, knowledge, and practices in order to generate a new approach to clinical phonology.' –Sharynne McLeod, Ph.D., Professor Charles Sturt University, Australia
'This excellent book provides full coverage of linguistic theories and psycholinguistic models while connecting the content to clinical cases throughout. The final chapters that synthesize approaches with explicit discussion of applications to clinical practice will be of particular interest to students planning a career in speech-language pathology.' –Susan Rvachew, Ph.D., S-LP(C), Professor, McGill University, Canada
