Interdisciplinary Linguistic and Psychiatric Research on Language Disorders
Synopsis
Interdisciplinary Linguistic and Psychiatric Research on Language Disorders is a collection of scientific papers presented at the International Scientific Workshop on Clinical Linguistics, held on 20 November 2018 at the Education Centre of the University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče.
The Erdeljac & Sekulić Sović research group in clinical linguistics, based at the Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, in collaboration with psychiatrists from the Department of Biological Psychiatry and Psychogeriatrics and the Department of Diagnostics and Intensive Care, both at the University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče, present a unique example of an academic publication designed to spotlight ongoing research on semantic processing in individuals diagnosed with psychosis spectrum disorders who are native speakers of Croatian.
A further value of this book lies in the co-authors’ contributions, written by specialists in clinical linguistics and psychiatry to expand the focus of research in clinical linguistics to other domains of language disorders while showcasing the research being undertaken at prominent institutions such as University College London, the University of Cologne, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Philipps University Marburg, the University of Belgrade, the University of Novi Sad, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
