Why linguistics is central to Alzheimer’s research

Posted on 19 May 2015

This Public Research Seminar is being hosted by the Centre for Research in Language Learning and Use and Research Centre for Social Sciences, Thursday 28 May 2015, 4.00pm

Professor Alison Wray, Centre for Language & Communication Research, Cardiff University

In this research seminar, Alison Wray will explore the complex manner in which language defines and impacts on communication with and by people with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The talk will consider how linguists can apply their knowledge of language as a formal, functional, social and psychological system, to contribute new insights into, and possible solutions for, current practical problems in AD care.
