Verb Argument Structure Encoding during Verb Naming and Sentence Production in Normal and Agrammatic Aphasic Speakers: An Eyetracking Study Background and Rationale
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background and Rationale Individuals with agrammatic Broca’s aphasia have difficulty producing verbs and sentences (Menn & Obler, 1990; Miceli et al., 1984). This difficulty is associated with verb argument structure. Thompson (2003) proposed the Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH): verbs with more complex argument structure (as in 1 below) are more challenging to produce as compared to verbs with less complex argument structure (2) in individuals with agrammatic aphasia.

Agrammatic aphasia verb and argument patterns in Kiswahili-English spontaneous language.
BACKGROUND The spontaneous and narrative language of Kiswahili agrammatic aphasic and non-brain-damaged speakers was analysed. The bilingual participants were also tested in English to enable comparisons of verb production in the two languages. The significance of this study was to characterise bilingual Kiswahili-English spontaneous agrammatic output. This was done by describing Kiswahili-Engl...
متن کاملElectrophysiological responses to argument structure violations in healthy adults and individuals with agrammatic aphasia.
Sentence comprehension requires processing of argument structure information associated with verbs, i.e. the number and type of arguments that they select. Many individuals with agrammatic aphasia show impaired production of verbs with greater argument structure density. The extent to which these participants also show argument structure deficits during comprehension, however, is unclear. Some ...
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...
متن کاملPatterns of comprehension and production of nouns and verbs in agrammatism: implications for lexical organization.
This study examined the relationship between verb retrieval and verb-argument-structure properties in seven agrammatic aphasic patients using tasks requiring access to the verb's lexicon for both comprehension- and productionlike processes. Results showed intact comprehension of both nouns and verbs and noun naming, but impaired naming of verbs. Subjects also demonstrated near-normal performanc...
متن کاملTraining verb argument structure production in agrammatic aphasia: behavioral and neural recovery patterns.
INTRODUCTION Neuroimaging and lesion studies indicate a left hemisphere network for verb and verb argument structure processing, involving both frontal and temporoparietal brain regions. Although their verb comprehension is generally unimpaired, it is well known that individuals with agrammatic aphasia often present with verb production deficits, characterized by an argument structure complexit...
