Abstract

The project seeks to investigate issues related to subjectivity in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in institutional interaction situations. For this, it will be used to analyze an existing corpus, Corpus DALI - Alzheimer's disease, Language and Interaction (Cruz, 2008). From the corpus of analysis will be made a study of a person who deals with the AD and the ways we can investigate subjectivity, besides the role of narrative in this investigation and as a result of the patient's quest for expression of language and the search for an I that still resides in the person with the language deficit.
