Processes of linguistic-cognitive (de)legitimation: notes on the field of pathologies

ABSTRACT:

In order to discuss certain processes of linguistic and cognitive (de)legitimation in neurolinguistic pathologies, we would like to define the object of this short reflection: the scope of the aphasia term and the discourse on Alzheimer’s disease. It is worth noting that these two pathological contexts are marked by the growth of several orders of iniquity in different social life spheres. The knowledge of processes to which the language refers opens space for epistemic changes and for a greater dynamic of social forces in the social game.

Keywords:
(De)legitimation; Pathologies; Social cognition
