Routledge Phonological Encoding and Monitoring in Speech Disorders

This comprehensive academic resource explores the mechanisms underlying normal speech production and language disorders including stuttering, aphasia and verbal dyspraxia. The book presents research-backed theories on how speech disorders emerge from deficits in phonological encoding-the process of constructing phonetic plans for utterances-and failures in the verbal self-monitoring system that detects and corrects errors. Published by Psychology Press and Routledge, this work examines the interaction between speech formulation components and error-monitoring mechanisms, providing clinicians and researchers with evidence-based insights into the cognitive processes involved in both fluent and disordered speech production.
