AnnotationDraws on a UK data set of 70 telephone calls recorded over a two-and-a-half year period between an elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease and her daughter and son-in-law. Results found that whilst there are clearly communicative difficulties, these arise due to the contingencies that are generated by the other's contributions in the interaction. This finding is a departure from the assumption that deficits are intrinsic to the individual with the disease and focuses rather on the communicative challenges that arise in the interaction itself.
