Beskrivning
Second language learners often produce language forms resembling those of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). At present, professionals working in language assessment and education have only limited diagnostic instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant children from those who will eventually catch up with their monolingual peers. This book presents a comprehensive set of tools for assessing the linguistic abilities of bilingual children. It aims to disentangle effects of bilingualism from those of SLI, making use of both models of bilingualism and models of language impairment. The book’s methods-oriented focus will make it an essential handbook for practitioners who look for measures which could be adapted to a variety of languages in diverse communities, as well as academic researchers.

This landmark publication brings together various approaches to the diagnosis of language disorders in bilinguals across numerous language pairs and sociolinguistic contexts.   Such comprehensive coverage is unparalleled in any previous volume on this topic.  An important feature of this book is that it includes in-depth rationales for task development and extensive details about the tasks. This makes it an invaluable resource to both clinicians and researchers in the field of language development and disorders.
