Why So Little Interest in Whether or Not Old People Talk: A Review of Recent Research on Verbal Communication among the Elderly.

Lubinski, Rosemary B.

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v9 n3 p237-45 1979

This paper is concerned with the spoken communication of chronically ill and aging residents of long-term care institutions. Spoken communication is a vital component of social interaction and psychological well-being underlying such concepts as isolation, integration, and adjustment; it is a fertile area for investigation and analysis.
