An Epistemological Basis for Clinical Practice: Learning from Deviance.

Shapiro, Theodore

Language Learning, v33 n5 p141-58 1983

It is a sound complementary base to learn more about how language encodes more than labels. It encodes histories, personal myths, and affects and reflects aspects of deviance and delay in function.
