"In research on language and aging there are traditionally two streams, one that focuses on language spoken in interaction with elderly people ('elderspeak') and one that focuses on language skills in the elderly. In this book we present a dynamic systems perspective on language and aging looking at language in aging as a normal process of development based on internal changes in the individual and changes in the environment. This interaction between individual and environment defines how language changes and how these changes have impacts on other facets of life and cognitive functioning. There is not much research on language and aging in multilingual individuals and multilingual societies and in this book most of the recent research is discussed along with a number of projects involving different language groups in the US."--BOOK JACKET.
Industry Reviews

Scholars investigating social gerontology during the past three decades have produced an enormous amount of empirical research studying a wide variety of issues related to the aging process. Language and aging in multicultural settings: A dynamic perspective is among the best written, most comprehensive, and most compelling books to be published during this period. The authors advance a dynamic and an integrative approach toward our understanding of the aging process that places Language at the very core of any competent understanding of the aging process. This book advances our understanding of aging, the role language plays in the aging process and is certainly a must read for any scholar interested in the aging process.
