The contributors to this volume reference a shared, longitudinal corpus of spontaneous conversation elicited in natural settings from speakers with moderate to late moderate Alzheimer''s Disease, utilizing other collections as appropriate, to analyze conversation, discourse and written text by and about Alzheimer''s speech.
