Summary

The project goal is to promote a feasible and effective approach to communicative disorders in neurological and psychiatric populations, focused on the pragmatics of language. Pragmatics allows speakers to use and interpret language in context and to engage in successful communication. Pragmatic language disorder is widespread in clinical conditions and causes reduced social interactions and lower quality of life for both patients and their family. Yet it is seldom considered in assessment and rehabilitation.
