German linguist and physician whose interest in the causes of human communication disorders motivated him to author Die Storungen der Sprache ("The Impediments of Speech") in 1877. Kussmaul's work offered some of the first clinical descriptions concerning the physiology of language and served as a foundation for the development of modern logopedics (studies of language pathology).
