Kim, Mikyong; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Brain and Language, 2004
This study examined the nature of verb deficits in 14 individuals with probable Alzheimer's Disease (PrAD) and nine with agrammatic aphasia. Production was tested, controlling both semantic and syntactic features of verbs, using noun and verb naming, sentence completion, and narrative tasks. Noun and verb comprehension and a grammaticality…

Capilouto, Gilson; Wright, Heather Harris; Wagovich, Stacy A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2005
Correct information unit (CIU) and main event analyses are quantitative measures for analyzing discourse of individuals with aphasia. Comparative data from healthy younger (YG) and older (OD) adults and an investigation of the influence of stimuli type would considerably extend the usefulness of such analyses. The objectives were (a) to compare…

Bruce, Carolyn; Edmundson, Anne; Coleman, Michael – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2003
Background: People with aphasia may experience difficulties that prevent them from demonstrating in writing what they know and can produce orally. Voice recognition systems that allow the user to speak into a microphone and see their words appear on a computer screen have the potential to assist written communication. Aim: This study investigated…

Employing conversation analysis as a research technique, this study investigates the ways that unintelligibility is accounted for and overcome within a therapeutic encounter between an individual with aphasia and dysarthria and his clinician. The results emphasize the collaborative nature of intelligibility negotiation and demonstrate how both the…

Tsvetkova, L. S.; Glozman, J. M. – Linguistics, 1975
This investigation examines in aphasics the loss of the ability to relate words to their grammatical categories. It finds that recognition of grammatical categories is lost in all forms of aphasia studied, but that the loss is manifested differently for different types of aphasia quantitatively and qualitatively.

de Ajuriaguerra, J.; Tissot, R. – Linguistique, 1975
This article uses the example of aphasia to discuss to what extent and under what constraints neuropsychiatry borrows from linguistics. It is affirmed that genetic and functional, rather than static, structuralism is a useful tool for neuropsychiatry and that language functions can be seen to correspond to cerebral functions. (Text is in French.)…

Dubois, Jean – Langages, 1977
A survey of the historical developments of linguistic theories relating to aphasia. Some topics covered are: the breakdown of language as opposed to acquisition of language; functional structuralism basic to neurolinguistics; analysis of language disorders; neurolinguistics--models and typology; aphasia and agraphia. (Text is in French.) (AMH)

Dubois, Jean – Langages, 1977
Attempts to answer several questions posed by researchers in agraphia. The questions concern analysis of errors in sensory aphasia; a typology of sensory agraphia; a possible relationship between sensory agraphia and sensory aphasia; and questions of a neurolinguistic order and those of a purely linguistic order. (Text is in French.) (AMH)

Cubelli, Roberto; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1988
The article proposes a reeducation program for conduction aphasics with reproductive difficulties. Program characteristics include analysis and manipulation of visual stimuli (written words and syllables), suppression of the compensation effect of the spared lexical-semantic system; and progressive increase in length and complexity of phonological…

Shewan, Cynthia M.; Donner, Allan P. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1988
Three methods for evaluating change in the spontaneous language of aphasic subjects were compared. Clinical judgments of experienced speech language pathologists showed excellent agreement with the Shewan Spontaneous Language Analysis (SSLA) and less agreement with the Western Aphasia Battery. The SSLA was found to provide the most comprehensive…

Bhat, Sapna; Chengappa, Shyamala – 2003
Patterns of code switching were studies from two aphasic and two neurologically normal Kannada-English bilinguals. Conversational analysis of the samples based on the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model (Myers-Scotton, 1993) revealed consistent code switching between two languages by all the subjects. The aphasic subjects demonstrated a greater…
