Conversation has been described as ‘a vocal competition in which the one who is catching his breath is called the listener’ (Anon.). The competition is hardly fair for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who are inevitably relegated to the listening role by their hesitant, hypophonic speech. Relationships are forged from social interaction, but patients with PD are limited by the dual effects of poor verbal and non-verbal communication compounded by impairment of semantic processing affecting complex sentence comprehension [1].
