Abstract

|
|
This paper is about work in progress on resident-staff interaction in a Japanese nursing home for elderly people. Research was conducted in autumn 2007 in a geriatric health care facility north of Tokyo. Resident-staff interaction during the morning care activities was recorded and transcribed according to conversation analytical standards. After a brief outline of the project, this paper discusses one of the recorded conversations in detail. It exemplarily works out some of the basic communicative characteristics of resident-staff interaction in the studied research setting and formulates some tentative conclusions.
