Fulfilling AgeingLanguage and Communication

Fulfilling Ageing: Language and Communication [Language and communication starts with an analysis of intra-generational communication, or the ways in which old people communicate with each other. Intra-generational communication tends to differ from communicating with younger generations (inter-generational communication) which, in turn, poses specific challenges to both the old and the young. Communication is expressed through narratives that can unravel our priorities, concerns, emotions, beliefs, ways of processing life events and understanding of the relationships we establish with other people. The narratives of the elderly are to some extent a window into their mind. Such narratives can however remain more hidden in multicultural societies due to language barriers, in which case older people will require the services of bilingual family members or specifically trained interpreters and translators to communicate more effectively, especially in institutional and medical settings.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Language and communication starts with an analysis of intra-generational communication, or the ways in which old people communicate with each other. Intra-generational communication tends to differ from communicating with younger generations (inter-generational communication) which, in turn, poses specific challenges to both the old and the young. Communication is expressed through narratives that can unravel our priorities, concerns, emotions, beliefs, ways of processing life events and understanding of the relationships we establish with other people. The narratives of the elderly are to some extent a window into their mind. Such narratives can however remain more hidden in multicultural societies due to language barriers, in which case older people will require the services of bilingual family members or specifically trained interpreters and translators to communicate more effectively, especially in institutional and medical settings.]
