When interacting with people with aphasia, communication partners use a range of subtle strategies to scaffold, or facilitate, expression and comprehension. The present article analyses the unintended effects of these ostensibly helpful acts. Twenty people with aphasia and their main communication partners (n = 40) living in the UK were video recorded engaging in a joint task. Three analyses reveal that: (1) scaffolding is widespread and mostly effective, (2) the conversations are dominated by communication partners, and (3) people with aphasia both request and resist help. We propose that scaffolding is inherently paradoxical because it has contradictory effects. While helping facilitates performing an action, and is thus enabling, it simultaneously implies an inability to perform the action independently, and thus it can simultaneously mark the recipient as disabled. Data are in British English.
在与失语症患者交流时，交流伙伴会使用一系列微妙的策略来搭建支架，即促进表达和理解。本文分析了这些表面上有益行为的意外后果。对居住在英国的20名失语症患者及其主要交流伙伴（共40人）进行联合任务时的情况进行了视频记录。三项分析表明：（1）搭建支架的行为很普遍且大多有效；（2）对话由交流伙伴主导；（3）失语症患者既寻求帮助，也抗拒帮助。我们认为搭建支架本质上是自相矛盾的，因为它具有相互矛盾的效果。虽然帮助促进了行动的执行，因此具有赋能作用，但它同时也意味着无法独立执行该行动，因此它可能同时将接受者标记为残疾人。数据使用的是英式英语。
