Nakano, Hiroko; Blumstein, Sheila E. – Brain and Language, 2004
This study investigated how normal subjects and Broca's and Wernicke's aphasics integrate thematic information incrementally using syntax, lexical-semantics, and pragmatics in a simple active declarative sentence. Three priming experiments were conducted using an auditory lexical decision task in which subjects made a lexical decision on a…

Wilshire, Carolyn E.; Saffran, Eleanor M. – Cognition, 2005
Two fluent aphasics, IG and GL, performed a phonological priming task in which they repeated an auditory prime then named a target picture. The two patients both had selective deficits in word production: they were at or near ceiling on lexical comprehension tasks, but were significantly impaired in picture naming. IG's naming errors included both…

Kambanaros, Maria; van Steenbrugge, Willem – Brain and Language, 2006
Noun and verb comprehension and production was investigated in two groups of late bilingual, Greek-English speakers: individuals with anomic aphasia and a control group of non-brain injured individuals matched for age and gender. There were no significant differences in verb or noun comprehension between the two groups in either language. However,…

Fink, Martina; Churan, Jan; Wittmann, Marc – Brain and Language, 2006
Standard diagnostic procedures for assessing temporal-processing abilities of adult patients with aphasia have so far not been developed. In our study, temporal-order measurements were conducted using two different experimental procedures to identify a suitable measure for clinical studies. Additionally, phoneme-discrimination abilities were…

Berg, Thomas – Brain and Language, 2006
The aim of this study is to develop a partial theory of phonological paraphasias which has some cross-syndrome and cross-linguistic validity. It is based on the distinction between content and structural units and emphasizes the role of the latter. The notion of structure holds the key to an understanding of the differences among the following…

Racette, Amelie; Bard, Celine; Peretz, Isabelle – Brain, 2006
A classic observation in neurology is that aphasics can sing words they cannot pronounce otherwise. To further assess this claim, we investigated the production of sung and spoken utterances in eight brain-damaged patients suffering from a variety of speech disorders as a consequence of a left-hemisphere lesion. In Experiment 1, the patients were…

Shadden, Barbara B. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1987
Precrisis intervention programming can provide the significant others of aphasic older adults with information and experiences which will help them to understand the nature of aphasic communication breakdown, its impact on the individual and family, and the strategies which will enhance communicative interactions and facilitate rehabilitation…

Horner, Jennifer – Topics in Language Disorders, 1987
The article describes an approach to aphasia description and intervention based on analysis of speech pauses and hesitations. The concepts of pause, planning, and paraphasia (a language production error involving substitution or replacement) are distinguished. Three case studies illustrate application of the technique. (DB)

Webb, Wanda G. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1987
Treatment of acquired reading disorders are discussed in terms of reading processes, assessment, and external/internal factors affecting comprehension. Treatment methods are distinguished for severely impaired, moderately impaired, and mildly impaired patients. (DB)

Skenes, Linda Lilley; McCauley, Rebecca Joan – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1985
Nine aphasia tests were reviewed using seven psychometric criteria appropriate to standardized tests. The need for test manuals to contain a wide range of psychometric information is discussed, and, in particular, the role of subject description in test standardization is emphasized. (Author/CL)

Hatfield, Frances M. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1981
The paper surveys contribution of A. Luria to aphasiology, emphasizing unique extent to which he integrated theory and therapeutic practice. Luria's view of primary defects underlying main forms of aphasia is summarized; this is followed by brief account of his application of certain notions of structural linguists, including R. Jakobson's…

Rindflesch, Thomas; Reeves, Jennifer E. – Language Sciences, 1992
Reexamines data from Caplan and Hildebrandt (1988) with a new set of background assumptions and concludes a Government-Binding-based account is not supported. Instead, deficits observed in the process of infinitival complement constructions are attributed to patient inability to fully access the data structure required to support a proposed…

Raman, Ilhan; Weekes, Brendan S. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2005
The Turkish script is characterised by completely transparent bidirectional mappings between orthography and phonology. To date, there has been no reported evidence of acquired dyslexia in Turkish speakers leading to the naive view that reading and writing problems in Turkish are probably rare. We examined the extent to which phonological…
