This has led not only to a lack of appreciation for the complexity of their lives and concerns, but also to an underestimation and incomplete understanding of their intellectual and linguistic skills. By exploring aspects of the ongoing linguistic and social lives of retarded individuals in various community contexts, this volume contributes to a growing body of literature which attempts to fill in this inadequate picture. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vVI:6. 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities$zUnited States 606 $aSocial interaction$zUnited States 606 $aInterpersonal communication$zUnited States 606 $aStigma (Social psychology) 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities 615 0$aSocial interaction 615 0$aInterpersonal communication 615 0$aStigma (Social psychology) 676 $a362.3 700 $aSabsay$b Sharon$01709117 701 $aPlatt$b Martha$01709118 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814675103321 996 $aSocial setting, stigma, and communicative competence$94098613 997 $aUNINA
