The current study aimed to use electromagnetic articulography (EMA) to investigate the effect of increasing word length on lingual kinematics in acquired apraxia of speech (AOS). Tongue-tip and tongue-back movement was recorded for five speakers with AOS and a concomitant aphasia (mean age = 53.6 years; SD = 12.60) during target consonant…

A report on a study of a large number of subjects afflicted with sensory aphasia. Topics covered are: the distributional pattern of grammatical categories; paraphasia; a statistical analysis of associated syndromes; possible relationship to the location of the lesion. Some examples of spontaneous language are included. (Text is in French.) (AMH)

Erroneous responses of some aphasic patients resemble the sorts of words a normal person produces when searching for a target word that is on the tip of the tongue. With aphasics, words are well-formed phonologically and the number of syllables and stress patterns are correct also. (SC)

A report on research on agraphia using subjects afflicted with sensory aphasia. It compares performance in Italian, a phonetic language, with performance in French. The disorders in the Italian language appear less varied than in French. (Text is in French.)

A study of graphic disorders observed afflicted with cortical lesions. The topics discussed are: elements of graphic activity, linguistic theories on the relationship between written and spoken language and the principal theses of aphasiologists on disorders in written language. A bibliography is attached. (Text is in French.) (AMH)
