Summary/Abstract: Changes that accompany aging (both physiological and complicated by pathological processes) affect the course of linguistic communication. Communication problems of the elderly are more and more often perceived by psychologists and psychotherapists dealing with people of this age group. However, this subject has not been the focus of interest for linguists and speech therapists. Collective work Fri Gerontologopedia (2017), which will be released on the publishing market in autumn, is an attempt to combine research in the literature on language (communication) problems of older people.
