About

Overview

Dr Lucy Dipper is a linguist working in the field of Speech and Language Therapy, exploring the best ways to assess and remediate communication disorders.

She works with the language needed for communication in everyday life, such as storytelling and other forms of discourse, as well as with sentences and gesture. Everyday communication requires analysis and intervention at various levels of language including word, phrase, sentence and discourse structure levels, and Lucy's research is directed at creating feasible methods for clinicians to achieve this.

Lucy joined City, University of London in 2000, and previously worked at University College London. She studied Linguistics at Sussex University and then undertook both her Masters and PhD in Clinical Linguistics at University College London.

Lucy's research investigates the ways in which people use language and gesture to communicate meaning in everyday life, including ideas, experiences, interests, beliefs, opinions and other aspect of identity.

Research

Research Overview

Lucy's research interests include language and language disorder, with a particular interest in aphasia. Lucy and a colleague (Naomi Cocks - Curtin University, Perth, Austraia) recently completed a project funded by the Dunhill Medical Trust to explore the relationship between gesture and language skills in aphasia. Their results suggested that impairment to the language system (aphasia) is reflected in gesture, supporting the prevailing idea that language and gesture are strongly linked in processing terms. They also suggest that analysis of spontaneous co-speech is an important addition to the speech and language therapists' assessment toolkit.

Lucy and another colleague (Madeline Cruice - LCS, City University, London) are currently exploring the skills of people with aphasia across various communication genres. Supported by City University funds, they have carried out an exploratory analysis of the language used by people with aphasia when discussing their quality of life. This is an exciting new collaboration providing a unique opportunity to blend clinical linguistics with quality of life research. They found evidence for both intact and
impaired verb production in aphasia, with some surprising resilience in the range of meaning conveyed. There was also clear heterogeneity within both participant samples
challenges assumptions of normality and typicality.

Currently Madeleine, Lucy and Rachael Anne Knight are running a pilot project looking at language and communication in personal storytelling, and they will be seeking funding for a larger-scale version in 2015.
