摘要
The change of the semantic memory in the Alzheimer's disease makes complex the understanding speech of patients. The very important lexical reduction in this disease does not allow to understand the sense of speech. These patients keep an intact phonological capacity. It will be separated of what is pronounced of the whole verbal exchange. The said is often qualified as semantic no sense. The questions of nurses and families to clarify the requests fail. The patient is only repeating his request. For example, the patients ask to see a dead person (her mother) or a requirement (take a taxi). The explicit, literal sense (denotation), does not any more allow to understand this phonological production. It is impossible to act for these pressing requests. For us, these words are full of sense but condensed. The concept of connotation (say it) allows to seize the wide sense of the intention. From clinical examples, we propose answers according to the connotation of what is pronounced. So, we determine a first method of care to understand the requests of these persons.
