Abstract

To help older adults living with cognitive impairments to engage in positive social interactions and maintain verbal creativity, intergenerational small-group sessions of haiku creation and appreciation activity were conducted online during the pandemic. Haiku, a short 17-syllable form of poetry originating in Japan, conveys simple yet emotive seasonal images free from the complexity or logical continuity required of prose. Accordingly, it offers anyone the challenge of an unfamiliar activity while minimizing impediment from linguistic and memory difficulties. The participants’ interactions during the activity and post-session interviews reveal that for both young and old, the haiku creation format facilitated self-expression and sharing of personal narratives. The key to meaningful interaction was the equal positioning of persons with and without cognitive impairments and their efforts to understand their interlocutor’s purpose and conversational direction. The study encourages further studies in pragmatics centered on affect-oriented communication.
在俳句创作的公平竞争中
为了帮助有认知障碍的老年人参与积极的社交互动并保持语言创造力,我们在大流行病期间通过网络开展了跨代小组俳句创作和欣赏活动。俳句是一种源自日本的 17 个音节的短诗形式,它传达的是简单而富有情感的季节性图像,没有散文所要求的复杂性或逻辑连续性。因此,俳句既能为任何人带来陌生活动的挑战,又能最大限度地减少语言和记忆障碍。参与者在活动中的互动和活动后的访谈显示,无论对年轻人还是老年人来说,俳句创作的形式都有利于自我表达和分享个人叙事。有认知障碍者和无认知障碍者的平等地位,以及他们为理解对话者的目的和对话方向所做的努力,是进行有意义互动的关键。这项研究鼓励进一步研究以情感为导向的交流语用学。
