Abstract

How do people with aphasia express their emotions? This article uses a sample of video-recorded speech and language therapy sessions to see how patients make use of facial, vocal, and bodily expression. Analysis shows that their affect displays regularly co-occur with linguistic difficulties and efforts to repair them. The most common affect displays consist of frowning, laughing, smiling, and shifts in gaze or body posture. If the difficulties are prolonged, affect displays are intensified with lowered/raised voice quality, sighing, head shaking, and verbal exclamations. Both frowning and laughter display recognition of linguistic difficulties, thus turning the threatening display of linguistic incompetence into a display of competence and active management of the trouble. The therapists are neutral in displaying affect but reciprocate smiles and laughter. The way that patient and therapist manage their displays of affect are part of their management of their larger social identities. Data are in Finnish with English translation.
