Our lab conducts studies related to discourse of adult populations, including individuals with aphasia as well as the normal aging population.
The populations studied represent groups of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Caucasian Americans.
Within these groups, special emphasis is placed on identifying cultural differences as revealed by the themes and structural features of language.
In aphasia discourse, studies document both preservations and disruptions of language. The primary focus of discourse is narrative stroke stories as a component of the field of narrative medicine concerned with improvement in doctor-patient communication.
