Sentence Comprehension in Aphasia
We show in this chapter that selective aphasic deficits dissociate distinct language processing systems. To this end, we focus on disruptions of lexical access that appear to implicate initial stages of sentence comprehension. The analyses we present turn on comparisons between agrammatic (Broca's) aphasic patients and paragrammatic (Wernicke's) aphasic patients. By the former we mean roughly, ...
متن کاملVerb bias and verb-specific competition effects on sentence production
How do speakers choose between structural options for expressing a given meaning? Overall preference for some structures over others as well as prior statistical association between specific verbs and sentence structures ("verb bias") are known to broadly influence language use. However, the effects of prior statistical experience on the planning and execution of utterances and the mechanisms t...
متن کاملTracking Passive Sentence Comprehension in Agrammatic Aphasia.
People with agrammatic aphasia often experience greater difficulty comprehending passive compared to active sentences. The Trace Deletion Hypothesis (TDH; Grodzinsky, 2000) proposes that aphasic individuals cannot generate accurate syntactic representations of passive sentences and, hence, use an agent-first processing strategy which leads to at-chance performance. We tested this claim using th...
متن کاملDo verb bias effects on sentence production reflect sensitivity to comprehension or production factors?
Speakers should be motivated to produce easy-to-understand sentences, but they must successfully say sentences that are harder to produce. Four experiments assessed how verb bias influences the mention of the optional "that" in sentence-complement structures. Without the "that", such sentences can be incorrectly interpreted as including direct objects (garden paths), and especially so after dir...
متن کاملVerb and sentence production and comprehension in aphasia: Northwestern Assessment of Verbs and Sentences (NAVS).
BACKGROUND Verbs and sentences are often impaired in individuals with aphasia, and differential impairment patterns are associated with different types of aphasia. With currently available test batteries, however, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive profile of aphasic language impairments because they do not examine syntactically important properties of verbs and sentences. AIMS This...
