It examines how bilingualism impacts communication and cognitive functions in patients, focusing particularly on the dynamics of code-switching between English and Spanish. The work delves into structural and functional approaches to bilingualism, the effects of dementia on language use, and the interactional patterns observed in bilingual discourse. Aimed at researchers, clinicians, and caregivers, it provides insights into language attrition, communication profiles, and the ethno-social dimensions of language use in dementia contexts. ER -
