Dialogue and Dementia - Cognitive and Communicative Resources for Engagement (Paperback, New): Robert W. Schrauf, Nicole M uller Dialogue and Dementia - Cognitive and Communicative Resources for Engagement (Paperback, New)
Robert W. Schrauf, Nicole M uller
R1,947 Discovery Miles 19 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Applying Linguistics in Health Research, Education, and Policy - Bench to Bedside and Back Again (Hardcover): Brett A. Diaz,... Applying Linguistics in Health Research, Education, and Policy - Bench to Bedside and Back Again (Hardcover)
Brett A. Diaz, Robert W. Schrauf
R4,128 Discovery Miles 41 280 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Researchers in applied linguistics have found medical and health contexts to be fertile grounds for study, from macro-levels of conceptual analyses to micro-levels of the "turn-by-turn." The rich array of health contexts include medical research itself, clinical encounters, medical education and training, caregivers and patients in everyday life - from the formal and ritualized to the ad hoc and ephemeral. This volume foregrounds the crucial role of applied linguists addressing real world problems, while simultaneously highlighting the varied ways that health can be understood as a rich site of language inquiry in its own right. Chapters cover a range of health topics including medical training, medical interaction, disability in education, health policy analysis and recommendations, multidisciplinary research teams, and medical ethics. While reporting and reflecting on their specific topics in clinical and health contexts, contributors also articulate their own hybrid identities as professional collaborators in health research, education, and policy.

Mixed Methods - Interviews, Surveys, and Cross-Cultural Comparisons (Hardcover): Robert W. Schrauf Mixed Methods - Interviews, Surveys, and Cross-Cultural Comparisons (Hardcover)
Robert W. Schrauf
R3,253 Discovery Miles 32 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Attention to cultural variation has become an important source of insight in the social, behavioural, and health sciences. Mixed methods research provides an especially sensitive and powerful way to make systematic cross-cultural comparisons, in which qualitative approaches give a window onto cultural meaning and the phenomenological 'feel' of social life, and quantitative methods facilitate hypothesis testing and sophisticated modelling of social and behavioural phenomena. For researchers engaged in cross-cultural projects, this book offers a theory-based approach to integrating 'numbers' and 'text' based on discourse as the originary form of data collection, the method and framework of analysis, and the medium of publication. The book provides concise explanations, targeted examples, step-by-step instructions, and actual analyses of cross-cultural, quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data, with special attention to language(s) and translation as clues to the study of cultural variation.
