This volume takes the positive view that conversation between persons with dementia and their interlocutors is a privileged site for ongoing cognitive engagement. The book identifies and describes specific linguistic devices or strategies at the level of turn-by-turn talk that promote and extend conversation and to explore real-world engagements that reflect these strategies.
