Riassunto

By highlighting the commonalities across a range of disciplines, this volume provides a unique and broad-based perspective on communication and ageing.

It brings to light the implications of individual differences among members of the elderly population as they affect communication, and illustrates the positive as well as the negative effects of the ageing process on language production, relational satisfaction an
