Gordon, Jean K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Spontaneous speech tasks are critically important for characterizing spoken language production deficits in aphasia and for assessing the impact of therapy. The utility of such tasks arises from the complex interaction of linguistic demands (word retrieval, sentence formulation, articulation). However, this complexity also makes…

Stark, Brielle C.; Geva, Sharon; Warburton, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Relatively preserved inner speech alongside poor overt speech has been documented in some persons with aphasia (PWA), but the relationship of overt speech with inner speech is still largely unclear, as few studies have directly investigated these factors. The present study investigates the relationship of relatively preserved inner speech…

Gillespie, Stephanie; Laures-Gore, Jacqueline; Moore, Elliot; Farina, Matthew; Russell, Scott; Haaland, Benjamin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The current study aimed to identify objective acoustic measures related to affective state change in the speech of adults with post-stroke aphasia. Method: The speech of 20 post-stroke adults with aphasia was recorded during picture description and administration of the Western Aphasia Battery--Revised (Kertesz, 2006). In addition,…

Groenewold, Rimke; Bastiaanse, Roelien; Nickels, Lyndsey; Huiskes, Mike – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2014
Background: Previous studies have shown that in semi-spontaneous speech, individuals with Broca's and anomic aphasia produce relatively many direct speech constructions. It has been claimed that in "healthy" communication direct speech constructions contribute to the liveliness, and indirectly to the comprehensibility, of speech.…

Lee, Jiyeon; Yoshida, Masaya; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: Grammatical encoding (GE) is impaired in agrammatic aphasia; however, the nature of such deficits remains unclear. We examined grammatical planning units during real-time sentence production in speakers with agrammatic aphasia and control speakers, testing two competing models of GE. We queried whether speakers with agrammatic aphasia…

Cohen-Goldberg, Ariel M.; Cholin, Joana; Miozzo, Michele; Rapp, Brenda – Cognition, 2013
Morphological and phonological processes are tightly interrelated in spoken production. During processing, morphological processes must combine the phonological content of individual morphemes to produce a phonological representation that is suitable for driving phonological processing. Further, morpheme assembly frequently causes changes in a…

Bose, Arpita; van Lieshout, Pascal – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2012
Background: In addition to the well-known linguistic processing impairments in aphasia, oro-motor skills and articulatory implementation of speech segments are reported to be compromised to some degree in most types of aphasia. Aims: This study aimed to identify differences in the characteristics and coordination of lip movements in the production…

Croot, Karen; Ballard, Kirrie; Leyton, Cristian E.; Hodges, John R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012
Purpose: The International Consensus Criteria for the diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA; Gorno-Tempini et al., 2011) propose apraxia of speech (AOS) as 1 of 2 core features of nonfluent/agrammatic PPA and propose phonological errors or absence of motor speech disorder as features of logopenic PPA. We investigated the sensitivity and…

Eiesland, Eli Anne; Lind, Marianne – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2012
Compounds are words that are made up of at least two other words (lexemes), featuring lexical and syntactic characteristics and thus particularly interesting for the study of language processing. Most studies of compounds and language processing have been based on data from experimental single word production and comprehension tasks. To enhance…

Mol, Lisette; Krahmer, Emiel; van de Sandt-Koenderman, Mieke – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: To study the independence of gesture and verbal language production. The authors assessed whether gesture can be semantically compensatory in cases of verbal language impairment and whether speakers with aphasia and control participants use similar depiction techniques in gesture. Method: The informativeness of gesture was assessed in 3…

Rhys, Catrin S.; Ulbrich, Christiane; Ordin, Mikhail – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2013
This paper investigates recurrent use of the phrase "very good" by a speaker with non-fluent agrammatic aphasia. Informal observation of the speaker's interaction reveals that she appears to be an effective conversational partner despite very severe word retrieval difficulties that result in extensive reliance on variants of the phrase "very…

Webster, Janet; Whitworth, Anne – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2012
Background: In recent years there has been significant interest in the differential processing of nouns and verbs in people with aphasia, but more limited consideration about whether the differences have implications for therapy. It remains unclear whether verbs can be treated in a similar way to nouns or should be treated using approaches that…

Hussmann, Katja; Grande, Marion; Meffert, Elisabeth; Christoph, Swetlana; Piefke, Martina; Willmes, Klaus; Huber, Walter – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2012
Although generally accepted as an important part of aphasia assessment, detailed analysis of spontaneous speech is rarely carried out in clinical practice mostly due to time limitations. The Aachener Sprachanalyse (ASPA; Aachen Speech Analysis) is a computer-assisted method for the quantitative analysis of German spontaneous speech that allows for…

Nozari, Nazbanou; Dell, Gary S.; Schwartz, Myrna F. – Cognitive Psychology, 2011
Despite the existence of speech errors, verbal communication is successful because speakers can detect (and correct) their errors. The standard theory of speech-error detection, the perceptual-loop account, posits that the comprehension system monitors production output for errors. Such a comprehension-based monitor, however, cannot explain the…

Romani, Cristina; Galluzzi, Claudia; Bureca, Ivana; Olson, Andrew – Cognitive Psychology, 2011
Current models of word production assume that words are stored as linear sequences of phonemes which are structured into syllables only at the moment of production. This is because syllable structure is always recoverable from the sequence of phonemes. In contrast, we present theoretical and empirical evidence that syllable structure is lexically…
