Binding in agrammatic aphasia: Processing to comprehension.
BACKGROUND: Theories of comprehension deficits in Broca's aphasia have largely been based on the pattern of deficit found with movement constructions. However, some studies have found comprehension deficits with binding constructions, which do not involve movement. AIMS: This study investigates online processing and offline comprehension of binding constructions, such as reflexive (e.g., himse...
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 کاملVerb inflections in agrammatic aphasia: Encoding of tense features.
Across most languages, verbs produced by agrammatic aphasic individuals are frequently marked by syntactically and semantically inappropriate inflectional affixes, such as Last night, I walking home. As per language production models, verb inflection errors in English agrammatism could arise from three potential sources: encoding the verbs' morphology based on temporal information at the concep...
متن کاملUsing statistical parsing to detect agrammatic aphasia
Agrammatic aphasia is a serious language impairment which can occur after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. We present an automatic method for analyzing aphasic speech using surface level parse features and context-free grammar production rules. Examining these features individually, we show that we can uncover many of the same characteristics of agrammatic language that have been reported in...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Swahili–English bilingual agrammatic spontaneous speech and the consequences for understanding agrammatic aphasia
Most studies on spontaneous speech of individuals with agrammatism have focused almost exclusively on monolingual individuals. There is hardly any previous research on bilinguals, especially of structurally different languages; and none on characterization of agrammatism in Swahili. The current study identifies the features of Swahili agrammatic narrative and spontaneous speech, and compares th...
