The research group in African linguistics at the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian studies consists of both senior researchers, PhD-fellows and postdocs,  together with students.

The central focus of Clinical Linguistics is the application of the principles and methods of linguistics and phonetics to communication impairment in children and adults. The group conducts research on typical and atypical speech and language development in children and on atypical speech and language as a result of brain damage in adults. Our research focuses strongly on cross-linguistic studies of language development and disorders.
