This volume takes the positive view that conversation between
persons with dementia and their interlocutors is a privileged site
for ongoing cognitive engagement. The book aims to identify and
describe specific linguistic devices or strategies at the level of
turn-by-turn talk that promote and extend conversation, and to
explore real-world engagements that reflect these strategies. Final
reflections tie these linguistic strategies and practices to wider
issues of the "self" and "agency" in persons with dementia.
Thematically, the volume fosters an integrated perspective on
communication and cognition in terms of which communicative
resources are recognized as cognitive resources, and communicative
interaction is treated as reflecting cognitive engagement. This
reflects perspectives in cognitive anthropology and cognitive
science that regard human cognitive activity as distributed and
culturally rooted. This volume is intended for academic researchers
and advanced students in applied linguistics, linguistic and
medical anthropology, nursing, and social gerontology; and practice
professionals in speech-language pathology and geropsychology.
