MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS

A Cross-Language Perspective
Edited by Nick Miller (University of Newcastle) and Anja Lowit (Strathclyde University)
Review
This is a ground-breaking seminal work which assesses the state of knowledge in a wide variety of languages, lays the theoretical foundations for future
research and is a much needed complement to research in aphasia. It greatly enriches our understanding of the representation and organization of speech
and language in the human brain.
Jack Ryalls, University of Central Florida, USA
Description
