1. Collaborative Role Construction in a Conversation with Dementia: An Application of Systemic Functional Linguistics (EJ817247)

Abstract: This study applies the tools provided by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to the description of patterns in a conversation between a person with dementia and a person without. It shows how, in the presence of, on the one hand, considerable communicative and cognitive deficits, and on the other, a collaborative interlocutor, a person with dementia succeeds in leading and sustaining a lengthy conversation, and of constructing for himself a positive role in the interaction, namely that of the elder advising a much younger man.

2. The Use of Conversational Laughter by an Individual with Dementia (EJ778506)
Wilson, Brent Thomas; Muller, Nicole; Damico, Jack S.
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, v21 n11-12 p1001-1006 Nov 2007

Descriptors: Dementia; Communication Research; Communication (Thought Transfer); Interpersonal Relationship; Interaction; Interpersonal Communication; Nonverbal Communication; Older Adults
Abstract: While laughter has been shown to play a significant role in any social interaction; its conversational usage by a person with dementia has rarely been investigated. This paper will investigate the functional aspects of laughter during conversation in an individual with dementia. Conversation analysis is used in order to investigate laughter as a social phenomenon and to be able to investigate laughter in an empirical and authentic manner. The conversational strategies employed through laughter will be detailed and implications will be discussed.

3. Non-Pulmonic-Egressive Speech in Clinical Data: A Brief Review (EJ778495)
Ball, Martin J.; Muller, Nicole
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, v21 n11-12 p869-874 Nov 2007
Information Analyses; Journal Articles
Descriptors: Speech Impairments; Speech Language Pathology; Speech Therapy; Phonetics; Phonetic Analysis; Articulation (Speech); Phonemes
Abstract: This review examines the literature on the use of non-pulmonic egressive sounds in disordered speech. Studies are described that report the use of pulmonic ingressive speech, clicks, ejectives, and implosives. Broad trends are identified linking the use of each type of non-pulmonic-egressive airstream use with particular disorders. The importance of including these airstream types in both phonetic theory and practice classes in the training of speech-language pathologists is stressed.

4. Order and Disorder in Conversation: Encounters with Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type (EJ691733)
Muller, Nicole; Guendouzi, Jacqueline A.
Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, v19 n5 p393-404 Jul-Aug 2005
2005-08-00
Journal Articles; Reports - General
Descriptors: Dementia; Speech Communication
Abstract: After a brief introduction to Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type (DAT), its behavioral diagnostic symptom complex and a summary of communicative implications, we present data from two conversations involving participants with and without DAT. We discuss the concept of "order" in conversation, and the central importance of interactional monitoring. Conversational success and problems in interactions with persons with DAT are seen as emergent from situationally embedded conversations in the presence of cognitive and linguistic impairments on the part of the person with DAT, and of contextually situated communicative impairment resulting therefrom.

6. A Comparison of Two Phonological Profiles: A Tutorial. (EJ547407)
Journal of Communication Disorders, v30 n3 p171-204 May-Jun 1997

Guides - Non-Classroom; Journal Articles; Tests/Questionnaires
Descriptors: Adults; Children; Communication Disorders; Evaluation Methods; Language Impairments; Phonology; Profiles; Standardized Tests; Student Evaluation
Abstract: The notion of "linguistic profile" as an alternative to standardized testing for speech and language disorders is discussed in this tutorial. Two specific examples of profiles, both for disordered phonology, are described, and readers are guided through their use. Finally, their relative strengths and weaknesses are assessed. (Author/CR)
