Language is an individual phenomenon of a physiological and psychological nature, conditioned, of course, by the social existence of the individual. Both the lexical, semantic, and grammatical sides are accomplished through all the activities and factors adjacent to the instructive-educational process. Both language and speech have a social character, especially as in the process of communication, speech takes on an individual form. Language requires speech and vice versa. The process of speech has a social basis, because it primarily targets the inter-human understanding. The problem of functions is of the utmost importance in defining the essence of the language. The main and specific function of the language, its destination in society is to serve as a means of communication. Language disorders include various forms of manifestation, such as language disorders affecting pronunciation, speech rhythm and fluency, speech retardation disorders, polymorphic disorders (with neurologica...

Topics in Language Disorders, 2010

In the 1950s, the assessment and management of children with language impairments emphasized their auditory and visual processing deficits and relied heavily on classifications of adult language disorders. Many compelling theoretical insights were offered, but research in language acquisition was in its infancy. It was not until the 1960s and 1970s that the involvement of speech-language pathologists with language acquisition and language-based learning disorders in children gradually evolved.

The thrust of this paper was to stress the fact that language and its acquisition are fundamental to human existence. But through Neurolinguistics, studies have variously showed that some children, and in some cases adults have complications producing certain speech sounds or having problems with voice features. These problems can be characterised by difficulties in the flow or rhythm of speech that are referred to as speech pathology. These speech problems can be the way sounds are articulated (phonological disorder) or difficulties with the volume, pitch or the quality of the sound so produced. People with speech disorders do have problems using some speech sounds which can also be a sign of delay thus causing some communication breakdown. Based on this, it was concluded that clinical assistance by way of preventing, 1 assessing, diagnosing, and treating speech, language, social-communication, cognitive communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults were suggested.

Speech and Communication Disorders: A Case Study as a Teaching Example of Lifelong Training for All, 2019

Speech and communication disorders are a category of special educational needs and can affect the evolution of the individual.The aim of this report is to present a case study as a teaching example.While studying this case, real or hypothetical examples, which reflect more general situations, are presented in order to analyze and investigate them thoroughly. The purpose of this is to provide alternative solutions to the emerging problems.The presentation of written case studies can become a really important part of the educational procedure.Case studies form the core of the recognition process and signify the end of a successful training.Moreover, case studies are an important element for lifelong training of both educators and therapists.A hypothetical case is presented in this report together with the symptomatology it shows. Furthermore,the diagnosis procedure and the way the problems of the specific student have been dealt with are presented.Finally, some basic conclusions are reached based on the information that has already been presented.

Clinical linguistics is an important and growing area of language study. Yet, this linguistic discipline has been relatively overlooked in comparison with mainstream branches of linguistics such as syntax and semantics. This paper argues for a greater integration of clinical linguistics within linguistics in general. This integration is warranted, it is argued, on account of the knowledge and methods that clinical linguists share with academics in other areas of linguistics. The paper sets out by discussing a narrow and a broad definition of clinical linguistics before examining key stages in the human communication cycle. This cycle represents the cognitive and linguistic processes involved in the expression and interpretation of utterances. Language and communication disorders are characterized in terms of specific points of breakdown in this cycle. The contribution of each branch of linguistic study--phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse--to an analysis of language disorders is considered. Data from a range of clinical subjects, both children and adults, is used to illustrate the linguistic features of these disorders. The paper concludes with a summary of the main points of the discussion and a preview of a companion article to be published in the International Journal of Language Studies.

The diagnostics and differential diagnostics are very important for the speech and language therapy. The correct logopedics diagnose for disorders with similar symptoms is the core of the right lodpedics therapy. The problems with the terminology in nowadays speech and language pathology result in difficulties for the specialists to determine the proper diagnose. The different terms in some disorders are result of using works from east and west authors. This problem in speech and language disorders' terms generates this project idea for creating a frame of diagnostic and differential diagnostic in language disorders.
