The studies included in this edited volume explore discourses surrounding the aging population, those who assist them, their families and the institutions/organizations that offer services to them. Qualitative and quantitative theoretical inputs from a variety of research domains - (socio)linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, cultural studies, cognitive science, as well as statistics and information technology - are employed to survey an array of themes that pay close attention to the linguistic, social, economic and ethical aspects regarding seniors. Different registers and genres are examined, which are produced by diverse diatopic distributions, diaphasic/diastratic variations and diamesic dimensions of the language.

All this underlines the importance of integrating various strands of analysis and multidisciplinary perspectives to attend to the complexity of a changing discourse and complex issue which are being looked at closely by the international scientific community. The book is suitable for a wide readership, including scholars and neophyte readers with an interest in discourse and cultural studies, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics.
