Farias, Dana; Davis, Christine; Harrington, Gregory – Brain and Language, 2006
Drawing in aphasia therapy has been used predominately as a substitution for speech or to augment communication when other modalities are non-functional. The value of drawing as a route for facilitating verbal expression has not been a focus of prior research. We compared the usefulness of drawing and writing as compensatory strategies for…

Tsvetkova, L. S.; Glozman, J. M. – Linguistics, 1975
Agrammatism, the disruption of the grammatical structure of speech, is studied in its accompaniment to aphasia. Since it occurs with all studied forms of aphasia, it is considered here a symptom typical to aphasia. It is also examined in relation to different kinds of aphasics. (SCC)

Goldberg, Elmera; Goldfarb, Robert – Brain and Language, 2005
This study asked whether aphasic adults show different noun/verb retrieval patterns based upon their clinical categorization as fluent or nonfluent. Participants selected either the noun or the verb meaning of target words, as presented in three contexts. The framework was that nouns (associated with temporal lobe function) are processed, stored,…

Gaitnotti, G.; And Others – Linguistics, 1975
Results of a verbal sound and meaning discrimination test to check the hypothesis of Alajouanine et al.--that two types of paraphasics can be distinguished, phonemic and semantic--are discussed. The former are impaired in tests of auditory language discrimination, the latter show regression of the semantic values apparent in their linguistic…

Luria, A. R. – Linguistics, 1975
A thirty-year case study of a Russian soldier suffering from a severe syndrome of parietal aphasia is discussed. Luria's book, "The Man with a Shattered World," is based on the soldier's 3,000-page diary, written after a period of training wherein he was told to write as fast as possible. (SCC)

Robert, Jean-Michel – IRAL, 1989
Characteristics of language production shared by interlanguage and agrammatism, a linguistic symptom of aphasia, are discussed, and it is proposed that the two constitute a reduced system within the language, derived from the language's conceptual system. (MSE)

Drew, Ruby L.; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
A semantic-based treatment was used initially to train naming of nouns in four adults with aphasia. Treatment responses and error patterns indicated treatment resulted in improved naming of both trained and untrained items for two participants. Two other participants showed improved naming only after phonological information was added. Results…

Mortensen, Lynne – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
This qualitative study investigated written discourse in the form of personal letters written by ten people with aphasia following stroke and ten people with cognitive-language disorder as a consequence of traumatic brain injury, and compared their performance with 15 non brain-damaged writers. Personal letters perform the dual function of…

Halpern, Casey; Clark, Robin; Moore, Peachie; Antani, Shweta; Colcher, Amy; Grossman, Murray – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Patients with corticobasal degeneration (CBD) appear to have impaired number knowledge. We examined the nature of their number deficit while we tested the hypothesis that comprehension of larger numbers depends in part on verbal mediation. We evaluated magnitude judgments and performance on number conservation measures rooted in Piagetian theory…

Appel, Rene; de Groot, Annette M. B.; Ervin-Tripp, Susan; Francis, Wendy S.; Green, David W.; Jarvis, Scott; Paradis, Michel; Roelofs, Ardi; Vaid, Jyotsna – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2000
Responds to an article that argues that in the study of bilingualism, conceptual representations should be treated as related but not equivalent to word meanings, as knowledge-based, dynamic and language- and culture-specific. (Author/VWL)

Silkes, JoAnn P.; McNeil, Malcolm R.; Drton, Mathias – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
Discussion abounds in the literature as to whether aphasia is a deficit of linguistic competence or linguistic performance and, if it is a performance deficit, what are its precise mechanisms. Considerable evidence suggests that alteration of nonlinguistic factors can affect language performance in aphasia, a finding that raises questions about…

Whitaker, Harry A. – 1968
This paper is part of a current dissertation project exploring the relationships between constructs in linguistic theory and pattern of language behavior in aphasic adults. The author feels that linguists have done little enough work in the area of speech pathology yet they have discussed at length the distinction between competence and…

Kiran, Swathi; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
Four patients with fluent aphasia received a semantic feature treatment to improve naming of either typical or atypical items within semantic categories. Patients trained on naming of atypical exemplars demonstrated generalization to naming of intermediate and typical items. Patients trained on typical items demonstrated no generalized naming…

Martin, Nadine; Ayala, Jennifer – Brain and Language, 2004
In the first part of this study, we investigated effects of item and task type on span performance in a group of aphasic individuals with word processing and STM deficits. Group analyses revealed significant effects of item on span performance with span being greater for digits than for words. We also investigated associations between subjects'…
