In "Contest of Words," Ben Lerner’s writing style seems, at first, all over the place. He tells a variety of stories and brings up examples that don’t seem to be related in the slightest.

Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016).
