Abstract:

This book brings together international, linguistic research with a focus on
interaction in multilingual encounters involving people with dementia in care
and healthcare settings. The methodologies used (Conversation Analysis,
Ethnography and Discursive Constructionism) capture practices on the
micro-level, revealing how very subtle details may be of critical importance
for the everyday well-being of participants with dementia, particularly in
settings and contexts where there is a lack of a common verbal language of
interlocutors, or where language abilities have been lost as a result of
dementia. Chapters analyse the practices and actions employed by interlocutors
to facilitate mutual understanding, enhance high-quality social relations and
assure optimal care and treatment, in spite of language and cognitive
difficulties, with an emphasis put on the participants’ remaining capacities,
and what can be achieved between people with dementia and their interlocutors
in a collaborative fashion. This book goes beyond the study of two-party
communication to address multiparty and group interactions which are common in
residential care and other healthcare settings and will be of interest to
professionals and policy makers as well as to medical sciences and linguistics
researchers and students.
