Establishing Alignment in Aphasia Couples Therapy in a Woman with Wernicke's Aphasia: A Case Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Boles, Larry – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2015
Alignment refers to the interactive use of similar words to accomplish a linguistic and cognitive "common ground" in conversations. Alignment is thought to be unconscious, relying on priming mechanisms. This occurs uniquely in conversational contexts and has been shown in choices of words, grammatical constructions, and even indirect…

Brumm, Kathleen Patricia – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This project examines spoken language comprehension in Broca's aphasia, a non-fluent language disorder acquired subsequent to stroke. Broca's aphasics demonstrate impaired comprehension for complex sentence constructions. To account for this deficit, one current processing theory claims that Broca's patients retain intrinsic linguistic knowledge,…

The On-Line Processing of Verb-Phrase Ellipsis in Aphasia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poirier, Josee; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Love, Tracy; Grodzinsky, Yosef – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009
We investigate the on-line processing of verb-phrase ellipsis (VPE) constructions in two brain injured populations: Broca's and Anomic aphasics. VPE constructions are built from two simple clauses; the first is the antecedent clause and the second is the ellipsis clause. The ellipsis clause is missing its verb and object (i.e., its verb phrase…

Distinctions between Two Phonological Output Deficits.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kohn, Susan E.; Smith, Katherine L. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1994
Two aphasics with a similar level of phonological production difficulty are compared to distinguish the properties of disruption to two stages in the phonological system for producing single words: activation of stored lexical-phonological representations versus construction of phonemic representations. A set of distinguishing behavioral features…
