Dementia brings many challenges, not least its ability to disrupt
effective communication. The quality of communication plays a major
role in how well people living with a dementia manage. When
communication doesn't work well, the complications of dementia are
compounded. Rather than only offering tips on what to say and how
to say it, this book explores the underlying motivations of
communication, so we can better understand why we say what we do,
why we say it the way we do, what can go wrong, and how attempts to
fix things can go awry. As well as considering why communication
goes wrong in day-to-day conversations, the chapters offer advice
on dealing with awkward moments, the question of deception, and the
things we can and can't control in dementia. Readers are asked to
reflect on their own role, and how they can manage their own
behaviours to avoid unintentionally blocking routes to productive
communication. Including clear action points for carers, bystanders
and people with a dementia diagnosis, this book shows how to
approach communication to improve outcomes.

A considerable proportion of our everyday language is 'formulaic'.
It is predictable in form, idiomatic, and seems to be stored in
fixed, or semi-fixed, chunks. This book explores the nature and
purposes of formulaic language, and looks for patterns across the
research findings from the fields of discourse analysis, first
language acquisition, language pathology and applied linguistics.
It gradually builds up a unified description and explanation of
formulaic language as a linguistic solution to a larger,
non-linguistic, problem, the promotion of self. The book culminates
in a new model of lexical storage, which accommodates the
curiosities of non-native and aphasic speech. Parallel analytic and
holistic processing strategies are the proposed mechanism which
reconciles, on the one hand, our capacity for understanding and
producing novel constructions using grammatical knowledge and small
lexical units, and on the other, our use of prefabricated material
which, though less flexible, also requires less processing.
