Les troubles pragmatiques représentent un aspect encore mal connu de la pathologie du langage et de la communication. Ils s'observent cependant chez un nombre important d'enfants, ceux qui présentent un Trouble Envahissant du Développement, une forme particulière de dysphasie (trouble sémantique-pragmatique) ou certaines formes de retard mental. D'autre part, des difficultés pragmatiques secondaires sont toujours présentes chez les enfants dont le langage ne se développe pas normalement. A partir de leur expérience clinique, les auteurs de cet ouvrage offrent une révision de la conception actuelle de ces troubles, décrivent et analysent les différents symptômes et proposent une démarche d'intervention.

Researchers and practitioners from Speech-Language Pathology, Neurolinguistics, Neuropsychology, Education, and Clinical Psychology provide theoretical and empirical grounds to develop evidence-based clinical procedures for monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English children and adults with communication disorders.

It is generally agreed that about 7,000 languages are spoken across the world today and at least half may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This state-of-the-art Handbook examines the reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages. The volume is relevant not only to researchers in language endangerment, language shift and language death, but to anyone interested in the languages and cultures of the world. It is accessible both to specialists and non-specialists: researchers will find cutting-edge contributions from acknowledged experts in their fields, while students, activists and other interested readers will find a wealth of readable yet thorough and up-to-date information.
