Observational analysis characterizes translanguaging in group conversations of South African adults, suggesting need for better language assessment tools.
Purpose Effective speech and language therapy for multilingual people with aphasia is dependent on the language in which the assessment and therapy are provided to the client. Limited language assessment tools are available for these populations. Translanguaging is an approach that allows for multilingual discourse analysis that encompasses speakers' complete linguistic repertoire. The purpose of this study was to characterise the translanguaging patterns of South African adults with an aim of developing best practices for discourse assessment in multilingual adults with acquired language difficulties.
