This book examines language and communication in clients with cognitive impairment and dementia and the treatment of these clients by speech-language pathologists, using real examples of language from individuals with neurodegenerative disorders. It is written for all medical and health professionals involved in the clinical management of dementia.

This clear and concise introduction offers students of linguistics and English language a comprehensive overview of English grammar. The book adopts a unique approach of explaining grammar through three real-world contexts: language development, language disorders and non-standard dialects.
