Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 3,0, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: Alzheimer's Disease (henceforth „A.D.“) is generally diagnosed in people over the age of 65. So when the world populations becomes older and more persons over the age of 65 populate the world, the disease spreads. By 2006, the number of A.D.-patients had already increased to 26.6 millions. This number is assumed to quadruple by 2050. But an improved A.D.-research would not only help those persons who suffer from it: „Alzheimer's Disease offers the challenge not only of delineating the writing disturbance of a common neurodegenerative illness but also the opportunity to discern how widespread neocortical deafferentation affects the neurobehavioral underpinnings of a complex cognitive task such as writing.“ (Glossar et al., 2000:78) Why especially the examination of language in A.D.-patients can promote the general study of language a great deal is also pointed out by Obler et al. (1999:92): „The language of dementing patients presents a unique opportunity for examining the relationship between language and cognition. The pattern of dissociation of abilities in dementia can yield information regarding the normal relationship – dependence or independence – between language and more general cognitive abilities. [...] To study language production and comprehension abilities in dementing patients is to explore the boundaries between syntax and semantics and among semantics, real world knowledge, and reasoning abilites.“ In this termpaper I will show that A.D. has severe effects on the patients’ language and that it is primarily caused by an impaired memory. During the second chapter, I will give a brief overview of the disease in general, i.e. the history of A.D., the insights and damages of A.D.-patients’ brain and body, and the different stages of this disease. Chapter 3 will present a selection of the most common effects of A.D. on language. The fourth chapter will close with a short summary of the termpaper and a conclusion.

Download Changing Minds Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Why language ability remains resilient and how it shapes our lives. We acquire our native language, seemingly without effort, in infancy and early childhood. Language is our constant companion throughout our lifetime, even as we age. Indeed, compared with other aspects of cognition, language seems to be fairly resilient through the process of aging. In Changing Minds, Roger Kreuz and Richard Roberts examine how aging affects language—and how language affects aging. Kreuz and Roberts report that what appear to be changes in an older person's language ability are actually produced by declines in such other cognitive processes as memory and perception. Some language abilities, including vocabulary size and writing ability, may even improve with age. And certain language activities—including reading fiction and engaging in conversation—may even help us live fuller and healthier lives. Kreuz and Roberts explain the cognitive processes underlying our language ability, exploring in particular how changes in these processes lead to changes in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They consider, among other things, the inability to produce a word that's on the tip of your tongue—and suggest that the increasing incidence of this with age may be the result of a surfeit of world knowledge. For example, older people can be better storytellers, and (something to remember at a family reunion) their perceived tendency toward off-topic verbosity may actually reflect communicative goals.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: HS „Language, Mind and Brain“, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Iris has got more than one world going on inside her head – a secret world. [...] I’m the only friend that knows of her secret world. [...] It’s like in a fairy story: I’m the young man in love with a beautiful maiden. Who disappears into an unknown and mysterious world every now and again, who always comes back. (John about Iris in the Film ‘Iris’ 2001) This paper is focusing on the impacts of Alzheimer’s disease on language production, since we won’t be able to explain this complex desease in medical detail. For introductory reasons a short insight into language and the brain in general will be given. From a neurolinguistic point of view we will then eleborate on the various brain areas affected by Alzheimer’s and on the various speech deficiencies that can occur within an Alzheimer’s patient. As an example of how big the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on language is, the main character in the film ‘Iris’, a dementic woman, will be examined with a focus on language problems.

Download Neurobehavior of Language and Cognition Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This volume has been composed as an appreciation of Martin L. Albert in the year of his 60th birthday. At least one contributor to each paper in this volume has been touched by Marty in some way; lie has mentored some, been a fellow student with some, and been a colleague to most. These contributors, as well as many others, view Marty as a gifted scientist and a wonderful human being. The breadth of his interests and intellectual pursuits is truly impressive; this breadth is reflected, only in part. by the diversity of the papers in this volume. His interests have ranged from psychopharmacology to cross-cultural understanding of dementia, through the aphasias, to the history of the fields that touch on behavioral neurology, especially neurology per se, cognitive psychology, speech-language pathology, and linguistics. Throughout his scholarly work, Martha Taylor Sarno notes, Marty never loses the human perspective, e. g. , the “powerfully disabling effect on the individual person” with aphasia or other neurological disorder. For those readers who only how a portion of his work, we thought that we should describe him here. Many of the people whom Marty has influenced have been able to contribute to this volume. We have invited some others who were unable to contribute to express their appreciation for him, as well.

Download Language and Neurology Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book questions the relationship and compatibility between current beliefs in neurology and contemporary textual linguistic theories, interpretative semantics and discourse analysis. It begins with a critical examination of the screenings for AlzheimerÂs type dementia through cognitive testing, particularly screenings where language is used. It then analyzes the various linguistic properties (morphological, syntactic and semantic) of the speech of AlzheimerÂs patients, which can be troubling for both caregivers and their environment in general. More than a synthesis of critical linguistic reflections, Language and Neurology provokes a fruitful reflection through adjustments suggested by the acquired knowledge of textual semantics.

Download Language Performance and Impairment of Iraqi Patients with Alzheimer's. A Case Study Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 100, Thi-Qar University, language: English, abstract: This study intends to investigate language performance and impairment elicited in the speech sample of some Iraqi patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The aim of this study is to see whether Alzheimer’s disease affects patients’ language, and if so, what areas of language it affects. In addition, it inspects and explains both language performance and impairment of Alzheimer’s patients during the disease. It is hypothesized that Alzheimer’s patients suffer from sound substitution and omission on the phonological level, that the patients’ language is affected on both the denotative and connotative sides, that the patients break the rules of turn taking when they engage in conversations, and that Alzheimer’s patients then suffer from language impairment in these areas. The prominent outcome of this study is that Alzheimer’s patients suffer from language impairment in the phonological, semantic, and pragmatic areas of language.
