Handbook of Qualitative
Research in Communication
Disorders
Th is volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth handbook of qualitative
research in the fi eld of communication disorders. It introduces and illustrates
the wide range of qualitative paradigms that have been used in recent years to
investigate various aspects of communication disorders.
Th e fi rst part of the book introduces in some detail the concept of qualitative
research and its application to communication disorders, and describes the
main qualitative research approaches. Th e contributions are forward-looking
rather than merely giving an overview of their topic. Th e second part illus-
trates these approaches through a series of case studies of diff erent communi-
cation disorders using qualitative methods of research.
Th is book is an essential resource for senior undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents, researchers, and practitioners in communication disorders and related
fi elds.

Louisiana at Lafayette. He is co-editor of the journal Clinical Linguistics and

sociolinguistics, clinical phonetics and phonology, and the linguistics of
Welsh. He is an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Speech and Language
Th erapists, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Disorders at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Her main research inter-
ests include: clinical discourse studies and pragmatics, specifi cally as applied
