Speech addressed to children is more redundant and less complex than speech directed to adults. To what extent do such 'baby talk' features occur in speech to demented elderly? This study is conducted to obtain descriptive information on the speech environment of institutionalized elderly people. The results show that caregivers use documented features of the simplified register of baby talk in communication with their psychogeriatric patients.
与对成年人说话相比，对儿童说话更冗余且更不复杂。这种“儿语”特征在与老年痴呆患者交谈时出现的程度如何？开展这项研究是为了获取有关住养老院老年人言语环境的描述性信息。结果表明，护理人员在与患有老年精神疾病的患者交流时，使用了已记录的儿语简化语域特征。
