Abstract The goal of this article is not to provide an exhaustive review of the literature on discourse and normal aging. Rather, a set of specific problems related to the question of age-related change in discourse abilities shall be discussed. More specifically, the article will address how factors of text and task influence discourse comprehension and production in older adults. Thus, the article is organized into two sections: discourse and comprehension, and discourse and production.


Nous ne prétendons par offrir ici un examen exhaustif de ce qui a été publié sur le discours et le vieillissement normal. Nous traiterons plutôt d'un ensemble de problèmes particuliers qui ont trait à la question du changement lié à l'âge dans les aptitudes au discours. Plus particulièrement, nous traiterons de facteurs comme le texte et la tâche et leur influence sur la compréhension et la production du discours chez les adultes âgés. Ainsi, le présent document est structuré en deux parties : discours et compréhension, et discours et production.
