Kimberly Frazier, a University of Arkansas associate professor of communication disorders, has written a textbook that addresses the importance of clinical phonetics in the diagnosis and remediation of communicative disorders.
The book, Foundations of Phonology: Linguistic Development, Speech Pathology, and Communicative Disorders, was published by Cognella. Frazier has been teaching and conducting research in the College of Education and Health Professions since 2007. She serves as program coordinator for communication disorders.
Frazier also taught at Louisiana Tech University and has more than 25 years of experience working in public schools, public health and private practice settings. Last year, she received the Honors College Distinguished Faculty Award.
Her book provides comprehensive coverage of foundational concepts and constructs and outlines the relationships between speech development in both motor and linguistic terms and human development overall. Phonology and phonetics refer to aspects of the study of speech sounds that make up a language.
The book gives exercises to have readers practice using the knowledge and concepts in and emphasizes application in clinical settings. var current_path = “/colleague/rhrc/frazier-book.php”; Edit webpage
