Pulling together some of her recent projects on discourse development into an applied format, Nippold (communication disorders and science, U. of Oregon) provides guidance to speech-language pathologists for eliciting, transcribing, and analyzing conversational, narrative, expository, and persuasive discourse samples with students in grades five through twelve, about ages eight to ten. She also suggests how to use that information to promote student's language development. Her section on working with adolescents discusses such topics as the history of language sampling, language sampling tasks, and intervention in conversational and narrative discourse. A grammar review and exercises then cover types of words, clauses, and sentences and units of measure. Answers are provided for the exercises.

Adrienne B. Hancock, PhD, Doody's Review Service, (2010): "... Well organized and easy to read and includes charts to help illustrate the author's points." Gail Turner, International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders, (2010): "... An accessible and highly informative guide to eliciting and analysing language samples for a client group whose complex needs may not always be recognized and properly addressed through the use of formal assessment tools alone. One of the main strengths of the book lies in the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of the assessment and intervention processes described ... Nippold adds breadth to the assessment and intervention processes for young people in school environments so that their functional communication and language needs can be more accurately and successfully met."
