Sentence repetition task has been proven to be a tool that can detect language difficulties and is indicative of abnormal language. In Malaysia, studies on the abilities bilingual children in sentence (SR) tasks are sparse. Therefore, this study aimed at examining morphosyntactic 60 Malay aged 4;0 6;11 based SR (L1) English (L2). task, participants were asked listen carefully sentences being re...

In this study, we explored the linguistic consolidation processes associated with bilingual processing using an experimental paradigm novel in bilingualism research, i.e., sentence repetition. We tested 46 L1-German L2-English bilinguals immersed L2 context. Firstly, compared participants’ repetition accuracy single-language sentences and involving code-switches. Secondly, investigated cost dif...

Recent proposals suggest that timing in acquisition, i.e., the age at which a phenomenon is mastered by monolingual children, influences acquisition of L2, interacting with onset bilingualism and amount L2 input. Here, we examine whether affects bilingual child’s heritage language, possibly modulating effects environmental child-internal factors. The performance 6- to 12-year-old Greek children...

Knowledge on the patterns of repetition amongst individuals who develop language deficits in association with right hemisphere lesions (crossed aphasia) is very limited. Available data indicate that repetition in some crossed aphasics experiencing phonological processing deficits is not heavily influenced by lexical-semantic variables (lexicality, imageability, and frequency) as is regularly re...

This study explored the effect of thiamine deficiency during early infancy on the development of syntax and lexical retrieval. We tested syntactic comprehension and production, lexical retrieval abilities and conceptual abilities of 59 children aged 5-7 years who had been fed during their first year of life with a thiamine-deficient milk substitute. We compared them to 35 age-matched control ch...

Functional neuroimaging studies have shown enhanced right-hemisphere language activations in adults with left-hemisphere damage. We hypothesized that this effect would be stronger in patients with lesion occurring early in development. Using [15O]-water PET, we studied eight normal adults and 23 patients with unilateral left lesion during rest, listening to sentences, and sentence repetition. T...

BACKGROUND Patterns of language impairment have long been used clinically to localize brain damage in stroke patients. The same approach might be useful in the differential diagnosis of progressive aphasia owing to neurodegenerative disease. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether scores on 4 widely used language tasks correlate with regional gray matter loss in 51 patients with progressive language...

extended abstract 1. introduction repetition is a lingual phenomenon which in various languages and in different frames, has been studied. the whole or part of the base is repeated in this process. hence, in farsi language, repetition is classified by two parts, total and partial. when the base is repeated perfectly, it is called total reduplication and if some part of the base will be repeated...

A 65-year-old man presented with word-finding difficulty and gait disturbance. His speech was nonfluent with word retrieval impairment and difficulties with sentence repetition. Other cognitive domains were intact initially. He developed asymmetrical bradykinesia, rigidity and a rest tremor. Over the following 8 years, his speech production impairment slowly deteriorated with the development of...
