		Linguists study how languages make it possible to transmit our ideas and feelings to each other, how different styles and dialects develop, and how they are used in everyday communication (‘Hey, y’wan’grabba pizza?’) as well as in formal settings (‘I don’t suppose you would care to have dinner with me this evening?’).
		Linguists try to figure out what this unconscious knowledge is, how people use it when they are skilled language users, and how they acquired it as children.
		Some linguists study the social nature of language by observing and describing face-to-face and telephone conversations, storytelling, doctor-patient interviews, and other ways that language is used for cultural interaction; we also try to understand how people integrate language and actions (glances, gestures) to communicate.

	Theta role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a theta role or θ-role is the semantic role a noun phrase plays in a sentence.
		For instance, in the sentence Debra broke the window, "Debra" is both the subject of the sentence and the agent and "the window" is the object of the verb and the patient.
		Although either the patient or agent can function as the subject of a sentence even in unmarked usages, in ergative-absolutive and tripartite languages the case marking of the "subject" differs depending on the type of verb used, in a way that tends to reflect the theta role it occupies.

	HLW: Sentences: Schemas and Roles
		The agent is the conscious initiator of the action, and the patient is the participant that is passively affected by the action.
		When the patient of a move instance is animate, it often has control over the movement and the event becomes a subcategory of the do schema rather than the happen schema.
		In such cases the patient is also an agent; for example, in the event described by sentence 22, Clark is both affected by the process and the initiator of the process.

		Nevertheless, patients may also introduce a narrative that validates their social identity distancing themselves from the disease and identifying themselves as an ordinary human being with social relationships and responsibilities.
		In the case of cancer patients the medical discourse used in the consultation is paramount to reconcile patients' feelings toward the disease and allow them to participate in the medical treatment.
		Since patients' understanding of the disease and participation in the visit appear to be key factors in the collaborative treatment plan, special emphasis will be devoted to comprehend how participants' collaborate in the treatment stage and how potential problems arising from different health expectations (lay v/s medical) are resolved.

		The situation is more difficult at the level of a model of Patient Process, where numerous terminologies may help, but where the level of a well-formed ontology has not been reached and where the specific aspects of a process as found in a narrative about the patient have not been sufficiently considered.
		Simultaneously the patient is recovering from a pneumonia, is following a care process, complicated by a diabetes, the patient is taking a prescribed drug, he is subject to an allergic reaction, and he is becoming older: altogether there are in a single sentence description already six different parallel processes, not necessarily connected by causal links.
		A patient with a broken leg is experiencing, to the point of view of the Patient Record, a process of recovery, started by an accident and ending when the patient is healthy again.

	LINGUIST List 4.994: Linguistics as psychology, Canadian raising, Implicature
		It is not true that all linguistic theories and or processing models distinguish between syntactic and semantic aspects of the grammar.
		And it is interesting that it is not necessary to know the meaning of 'kick' nor of the agent/patient, in order to determine who did what to whom when the syntax makes this clear.
		However, it is true that this patient studied by Saffran and Breedin does not provide evidence for or against a particular theory which does make this distinction in the syntactic assignment of thematic roles.

	Professor Michael Toolan
		The better conclusion is, perhaps, that detention of patients such as Mr L is real and justified, but outside emergency situations the proper justification (and concomitant safeguards) lies within the MHA, which it is a hospital's statutory duty to apply.
		Here there could be infringement of what both the patient and the family might be reasonably entitled to in the way of consultation and consideration of the possible negative effects that removal from a supportive home environment might entail.
		A second consequence should be that where a patient is assessed as lacking capacity, major treatments (including retention in hospital) should not proceed without the consent of an independent proxy for the patient, unconnected to the treatment team, such as a nearest relative or authority-appointed manager.

		Linguistic studies (Perlmutter and Postal, 1977; Bruzio, 1986) claim that a passive sentence is more marked than an active sentence in terms of the morphological complexity and the way thematic roles are mapped onto grammatical relations.
		Through linguistic theory (Jackendoff, 1972; 1990) and psycholinguistic study (Ito et al., 1993), we may assume that the more processing load of comprehension of a passive sentence is related to the reanalyzing of the thematic roles of the sentence than that of an active sentence.
		Linguistics, psycholinguistics, functional brain imaging study, ERP study, and the present study converge to establish that comprehension of a passive sentence requires more processing effort than that of the corresponding active sentence and that the increased processing load is attributable to the reanalysis of thematic roles toward the end of the sentence.

	Niklas Luhmann: A theoretical illustration of his definition of differentiation
		In other words, the patient, according to a transformational interpretation, should have exhibited retreating behavior; but, in the context of the encounter with his physician, it was obvious that he was confronting his problems.
		The patient and physician, because their psychic systems are part of the environment and a condition of differentiation, form a temporarily reciprocal interdependent relationship with the social system (clinical encounter).
		The language uttered by the speaker (patient) on the subject of illness is evidence of internal observation (self-observation).

		Subjectivization of patient and subject-verbagreement are not taken in this paper as critical properties ofpassive constructions.
		The methodology of contrastive linguistics is then described and compared with the methodology of contrastive analysis on the one hand and the methodology of typological research on the other ahdn.
		it is argued that contrastive linguistics can give a more adequate description of the two languages being contrasted and thus serve as a good starting point for typological research, as well as for writers of educationally oriented grammars.

	Language in India
		We can say that the speech of the Alzheimer's patient may be intact, but there is decline in his language as to its relevance in all aspects of language use: social, psychological, internal speech, and the link between the utterance and the act.
		Another characteristic that we notice is the patient's inability to recognize the relationship between the words as members of semantic domains.
		The deterioration of cognition and consequent linguistic competence are at stake in the progress of the disease, but ultimately the speech is also affected or lost.

		In his account, the patient of the CAUSE predication also has a thematic relation to the caused event.
		For the purposes of this analysis, I will take a much broader view of repetition than is normally found in linguistics, considering a cline from local (often idiosyncractic) repeating entities to the global repeating entities such as lexical items which have become formal, generalised tokens in the language.
		This is not a paper which proposes a neat solution to some small puzzle in a linguistic model.

	Department of Linguistics, Georgetown University: About the Department
		Talk between physicians and their patients has been shown to be shaped by participant characteristics, phase of the visit, and professional and institutional constraints.
		Based on a synthesis of separate interactional sociolinguistic studies of ten different medical concerns involving 395 patients and 105 physicians, I identify eight major differences across medical issues that may shape physician-patient discourse.
		In closing, I argue the importance of considering such influences, both for discourse analysts in their quest to account for particularities within physician-patient discourse as well as for healthcare professionals who believe that more attuned communication practices can result in better medical practices.

		For example: a young aphasic patient is asked the name of her daughter who is sitting next to her.
		Roman Jakobson has translated this statement into the terms of general linguistics: he sees all pathological phenomena as derangements in the laws of systems: of the phonematic system in the case of sounds, of the lexical system in the case of signifieds, of the morphological and syntactical system in the case of sentences (Jakobson 1944).
		The only linguists who has so far attempted to follow this path is I. Fónagy (1983), who, in his psycho-phonetics, has begun to explore the impervious terrain of the pulsional bases of phonation, prosody, proxemics and vocal kinesics.

		The studied patients often show a sharp awareness of their linguistic handicap and are worried about it.
		Indeed, in the case of Rao’s (1990) patient who stuttered after an accident, the aphasic component was only noticed when the stuttering diminished, and in the case of a patient described by Lebrun et al.
		The authors found 38% of the patients with a cortical lesion in the left hemisphere, 8.6% with a cortical lesion in the right hemisphere, 9.9% with bilateral lesions, 11.1% with sub-cortical lesions and 32.1% with lesions of unknown origin.

		Clinical linguistics is a core discipline at the centre of the interdisciplinary education of students training for a professional qualification in speech and language therapy/pathology (SLT) (see Internet links below for the QAA Benchmarking Statement on SLT education and for information on the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy).
		In the UK the key figure behind this development was David Crystal, and a number of publications by him and his colleagues still provide a valuable introduction to the area for students (Crystal, 1981, 1982, 1984, 2001; Crystal, Fletcher & Garman, 1976).
		Sharing data from a patient with a complex communication impairment across course modules can provide a rich illustration of how clinical linguistics informs and is informed by other disciplines in the description and explanation of atypical communication.

		Confidentiality is protected by the double-brokered encryption system of patient identifiers, which requires the participation of both the JHAR administrator and officials of the Department of Pathology of The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions to re-identify the individual patients (Berman et al, 1996).
		The mainstream computational linguistics literature devotes an inordinate amount of attention to interpretation of peculiar natural-language sentences, that would appear strange even to a native speaker and incomprehensible to a non-native speaker (Newmeyer, 1996).
		Gödel was influenced by an amateur interest in linguistics, and by the Jewish Kabbalists, who associated letters and words in the Hebrew Bible with numerical values and spiritual relationships; and by the emerging doctrine of non-Euclidean geometry.
