| Title |
Spoken language in the elderly (Seminar BA/MA) |
| Description |
Demographic change clearly shows that we live in an ageing society. Older people make up an increasingly large proportion of speakers. A linguistic study of this group of people is therefore highly relevant to society, and yet comparatively little literature can be found on language in older phases of life in the research landscape. This may be due to the complexity of the subject. It often requires a view that goes beyond the end of one's nose and makes use of interdisciplinary research.
This seminar will look at the language of older and healthy people as well as the language of older people with neuropsychological disorders (such as dementia).
For this purpose, basic concepts of gerontolinguistics will be presented and discussed in the plenary. The object of study should go beyond the language of monolinguals and also include aspects of multilingualism research. How does multilingualism affect language in old age? Is it a disadvantage for cognitive competences, or can it even be an advantage when it comes to neuropsychological disorders? These and many other questions will be investigated with the help of authentic language data from German, Polish and Russian people. For this purpose, the methods of empirical work will be approached throughout the semester. |
