Phonology as Human Behavior - Theoretical Implications and Clinical Applications

"Tobin's book is an exemplary scholarly work on phonological theory as seen from the perspective of the Columbia-Diver school of linguistics. The inclusion of clinical studies serves as a finely constructed bridge between the realm of linguistics proper and the numerous applications of linguistic theory in the fields of psychology and speech analysis."--Edna Andrews, Duke University
