The process of revision in speech is one of the most common symptoms of discourse impairing in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The purpose of this study is to investigate Revision in the discourse of senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type based on Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks.

This study was a quantitative and ex post facto type that has been done in one of nursing homes in Kermanshah in 2019. The statistic population of this study included 20 subjects (10 senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s’ type and 10 normal elderly subjects) who were matched based on age (63-75), gender (male and female), illiteracy, and Kurdish speaker (Kalhori dialect) after studying their medical documents. To determine the severity of dementia, the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale was administered and subjects with a score (0.5 ≤ score< 2) were selected. The subjects answered the questions about their families, daily activities, lives, and celebrating Eid Nowruz. Their interviews were recorded and transcribed and then they were coded based on Dijkstra model. Independent t-test was used to show the statistic results. Results Independent t-test showed a significant difference between two groups of patients and healthy elderly. In doing so, trouble source (P=0.003), repair initiator (p<0.05) (all cases except possible repair understanding by listener) and repairs (p<0.05) (all cases except substitution) were reported.

The results showed that the discourse aspect of trouble source has remarkable frequency, and the most frequency about two categories including repair initiator and repairs were respectively

The present study aims to investigate the topic shift in the discourse of the senile dementia of the Alzheimerchr  type within the framework of Crow   model (1983) based on Neurolinguistics approach. The methodological nature of this quantitative research was ex post facto; and the statistical population included 20 subjects (10 senile dementia of the Alzheimerchr  type subjects and 10 normal elderly subjects). To determine the level of dementia, the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale was performed on the subjects. Thus, the subjects with the score (0.5 ≤ X< 2) were selected. Then, the subjects answered the questions about their families, daily activities, and Eid-e Nowruz celebration for 10 minutes. Moreover, the utterances were recorded and transcribed. Also, the utterances were encoded and categorized respectively, according to Dijkstra’s et al. model (2004) and Crowchr  model (1983). Finally, the statistical results obtained with the use of independent t-test. The findings revealed a significant difference of the topic shift (P=0.001) and the topic maintenance (P=0.01) in the discourse of both senile dementia of the Alzheimerchr  type and normal elderly subjects, in such a way that both the topic shift and the topic maintenance occurred within turn and across turn. The results showed the topic shift, that occurs more often within turn, has much more frequency in the senile dementia of the Alzheimerchr  type subjects’ discourse; and also, the topic initiation has the most frequency, and the most important Reason for Shift was related to Failure to Continue.
