Potential Causes and Consequences of Overlap in Talk between Speakers with Parkinson’s Disease and Their Familiar Conversation Partners
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) can cause both motor speech and cognitive deficits, with those affected perceiving a negative effect on their everyday experiences of communication. One specific concern reported by people with PD is that people "talk over" them. Psychosocial reactions to communication changes in PD are highly individualized and do not correlate strongly with measures of disease severity. With the aim of developing a better understanding of the individual's everyday experience of being talked over, this study uses Conversation Analysis to examine videoed instances of naturally occurring overlapping talk. Two phenomena emerge. First, aspects of speech specific to PD can cause overlap, which in turn leads to the need for repair. Second, opportunities to repair disordered talk, further compromised in terms of intelligibility by overlap, are often not followed up. This leads to the deletion of PD turns at talk and therefore reduced participation in conversations. The implications of these phenomena for both client well-being and clinical interventions are discussed.

People with speech initiation difficulties due to Parkinson's disease can experience inappropriate overlapping turn onsets midway through an interactant's turn construction unit (TCU), leading to significant interactional difficulties despite only mild to moderate effects on intelligibility.
“People with speech initiation difficulties due to Parkinson's disease, for example, can experience inappropriate overlapping turn onsets midway through an interactant's turn construction unit (TCU), leading to significant interactional difficulties despite only mild to moderate effects on intelligibility (Griffiths et al. 2012).”

Speakers with even mild dysarthria, in certain circumstances, can experience specific troubles relating to turn initiation.
“there is also some evidence that speakers with even mild dysarthria, in certain circumstances, can also experience specific troubles relating to turn initiation.”

Earlier findings relating to speakers with Parkinson's disease show that opportunities to repair talk compromised in terms of intelligibility by overlap are often not pursued.
“This contrasts with earlier findings relating to speakers with Parkinson's disease in which opportunities to repair talk that is compromised in terms of intelligibility by overlap are often not pursued (Griffiths et al . 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
