'... an important contribution to demonstrating the value of discourse analysis for clinical diagnosis and for the study of patients with neurological and affective disorders ... a welcome synthesis of traditional, neuro-imaging, and linguistic methods.' Jay Lemke, University of Michigan '... provides theoretical and descriptive tools for analysing language in clinical syndromes that are clear but solidly grounded. The emphasis is on the autistic spectrum and Alzheimer's disease but beyond these disorders and the specific analyses, the authors provide a way of thinking about language in clinical impairments. It presents numerous worked out linguistic analyses and offers suggestions for further specific research.' Jonathan Fine, Department of English, Bar-Ilan University
