Gerontolinguistics in South Africa.
Makoni, Sinfree
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v7 n1 p57-65 1997
Evaluates the contribution of Coupland's research project on language and aging from the perspective of an African interest in gerontology. Argues that some of the underlying concepts need to be reconsidered if the project is to be extended to a different context. Outlines the strengths and frustrations inherent in multidisciplinary research. (17 references) (Author/CK)
