The subject of communication in elderly care is ending up being ever more important, with an aging world population and burgeoning varieties of individuals needing care. This book looks at this crucial however underanalyzed area. It examines the method individuals speak with each other in eldercare settings from an interdisciplinary and worldwide cross-cultural perspective. The little body of available research study indicate eldercare interaction accompanying its own particular conditions and contexts. Typically, there is the existence of numerous mental/physical conditions on the part of the care receivers, shortage of time, resources and/or versatility on the part of the care givers, and a mutual need of providing/receiving help with intimate personal activities. The book combines theory and practice, with linguistically notified analysis of real-life interaction in eldercare settings across the world. Each chapter closes with a “Practical Recommendations” area which contains suggestions on how interaction in eldercare can be improved. This book is an important and timely publication that will attract scientists and carers alike.
