Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of verbal interactions in clinical contexts between aphasic adults and speech therapists. Seven speech therapists were invited to record a conversational exchange with one of their patients and to analyze their interacting communication behaviors using an observation grid, based on the watching of a video clip and the reading of its transcription. In this interaction analysis protocol, the speech therapist's attention was not focused on the patient's productions but on his or her own contribution to the exchange. The results show that the recording and the transcription of corpora of natural exchanges contribute to the speech therapist's awareness of his or her language posture and opens up prospects for the improvement of professional practices in healthcare.
