This course looks at current research into disorders of language and speech, with special reference to developmental disorders. We will start from the psycholinguistic and neurocognitive processes that underlie spoken language production and perception and their development. In addition, we will attend to the impact of (various types of) impairments on spoken language production and perception in adults and, specifically, children; the relation between underlying deficits, compensatory adaptations and how these express themselves in symptomatology. A recurring theme in the course is the interplay of clinical and theoretical issues. How can theory-driven research support clinical work, and how do clinical questions affect (fundamental) work on spoken language production and perception?
