| الوصف: | Increasing life expectancy has led to a marked growth in the older population with cognitive deficits. This study examines how institutional texts match the communication skills of older people with accelerated aging phenotype. Major shifts in the speech production and processing patterns during the third age stage were traced. A taxonomy of linguistic elements that make people having dementia or pre-dementia struggle with understanding written texts was compiled. The analysis showed that written informational texts and announcements produced by public institutions are generally too complicated for older people with cognitive impairment. Common barriers include unnecessarily long sentences, complex syntax, numerous multisyllabic words, loanwords, abbreviations, terms, bureaucratic style, excessive punctuation, convoluted comparisons, etc. |
