This book research studies interaction in institutional eldercare. It is based upon audio-recorded interactions in between residents and staff in a Japanese care facility. The focus is on the early morning care regimens, that include getting the citizens out of bed and prepared for the day. Combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, the analysis checks out the characteristics of care communication as they become manifest in the interactional small print. Subjects consist of the use of regards to address and formal speech, the standard organisation of openings and closings, the troubles of talking while working– and, at times, working while talking– and pace distinctions in between locals and personnel as they move along between bed and breakfast. The research study findings are contextualised with results from previous studies, tracing substantial functions and explanation for deviant cases. The author is an experienced linguist and qualified nursing assistant with first-hand working experience in institutional eldercare.
