Abstract
Communication includes both linguistic and nonlinguistic forms and oral communication is the linguistic communication that exchanges information vocally and aurally. This process can be affected by various reasons and neurodegenerative diseases are one of them. In dementia, which is defined as a neurodegenerative disease, oral expression skills can be impaired in different ways. Linguistic problems can be observed in these patients’ speech. In this context, the oral expression skills of people with dementia of the Alzheimer type were analysed in this study. By using description tests both control group and Alzheimer group were compared within the use of verbal and nominal sentences. It was found out that these patients tend to use verbal sentences more in their oral speech. However, when compared to the control group the use of nominal sentences were higher
Highlights
ВступThe oral communication process is considered effective when it is clear, precise, relevant, tactful, considerate, concise, informative, and adapted to the needs of both speaker and listener (Mora, 2021)
A statistically significant difference was found between the late-onset AD (LAD) and control group (CG) with 95% confidence, in terms of forming or not forming a nominal and verbal sentence (p=0.000
; in subject-based narration test it was revealed that the CG group used more nominal sentences while the LAD group used more verbal sentences
Summary
ВступThe oral communication process is considered effective when it is clear, precise, relevant, tactful, considerate, concise, informative, and adapted to the needs of both speaker and listener (Mora, 2021). There is a type of interaction between individuals which makes use of words, sentences etc. This interaction includes a good organisation of content, grammar, pronunciation and fluency. If there are some problems in one of these elements, the activation of this process will be impossible These problems can be related with brain ilnesses. Brain ilnesses are one of the toughest challenges that humans face. They have a huge impact on length and quality of life and they make many forms: neurodevelopmental disorders like epilepsy and autism, mental health problems like depression and anxiety, neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, Alzheimers’s disease and etc. They have a huge impact on length and quality of life and they make many forms: neurodevelopmental disorders like epilepsy and autism, mental health problems like depression and anxiety, neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, Alzheimers’s disease and etc. (Taylor, 2020)
