Full Title: Aging and Elders’ Communication 

Date: 27-Jun-2021 - 02-Jul-2021

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 25-Oct-2020 

Meeting Description:

With the increasingly severe aging trend in today's world, research into the
features and mechanisms of elders' pragmatic communication has both academic
and practical values. Due to typical physiological and cognitive aging and/or
neurodegenerative diseases, elders present certain pragmatic features or
communication disorders in verbal interaction. As a result, geronto-linguistic
research that focuses on language degradation of different groups of elders
gradually emerges.

We are especially interested in the elders' pragmatic communication. Specific
research themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
1.linguistic features of elders' speech production and its neurocognitive or
social-cultural mechanism
2.perception mechanisms of the elder's interaction
3.face-saving issues, identity construction, and doctor-patient interaction in
elders' life
4.analysis of elders' communication within the multimodal pragmatics
framework, especially the study of characteristics of non-verbal behavior and
emotional communication of the elders with dementia
5.comparison of speech production between healthy elders and elders with
dementia, especially between the elders speaking different mother tongues
6.narratives of aging, diseases, and death from the social pragmatics
perspective

This panel encourages discussion on the features and mechanisms of elders'
pragmatic communication and social interaction based on various theoretical
perspectives and research methods. The perspectives and methods include but
are not limited to pragmatic analysis, conversation analysis, ethnographic
methods, corpus-based approaches, multimodal analysis, controlled experiments,
and lifespan development methods.

After preliminary coordination, the following contributors will present their
work in this panel:
1.Yueguo Gu, ''Investigating Young-Olds' Memory in Everyday Life''
2.Lihe Huang, ''Social Image and Self-identity of Chinese Elders in Aging
Society: from Frailty to Vitality''
3.Hongyan Liu, ''A Multimodal Study on Chinese Alzheimer's Speakers' Speech
Acts in Situated Discourse''
4.Yan Jiang, Yueguo Gu, ''Exploring Reasoning Patterns of Pragmatics and
Decision-Making in Older People's Fraud Cases''
5.Deyu Zhou, Lihe Huang, Wei Zhang, ''Conversational Structure in the
Interaction between Examiners and Elders with Dementia Risk in Chinese
Context''
6.Xin Cui，Hongwei Ding， ''the Phonetic Approach towards Alzheimer's Disease:
Language Tasks and Phonetic Parameters''
7.Meng Jiang, ''Lexical and pre-lexical processing in patients with motor
diseases is selectively impaired for Chinese action verbs''
