Sentence Processing in Aphasic Speakers with Short-Term Memory Deficits: Interactions between Structural and Lexical Processing
Direct linkDirect link
Hao Yan – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The current research investigates interactions between lexical and structural processing in the construction and interpretation of transitive and dative sentence structures, and relates speakers' choice of structure in sentence production to STM processes and recent/long-term language experience conditioned on lexical information. Study 1…

Harun, Mohammad – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2020
Research on agrammatism has revealed that the nature of linguistic impairment is systematic and interpretable. Non-canonical sentences are more impaired than those of canonical sentences. Previous studies on Japanese (Hiroshi et al. 2004; Chujo 1983; Tamaoka et al. 2003; Nakayama 1995) report that aphasic patients take longer Response Time (RT)…

Peristeri, Eleni; Tsimpli, Ianthi-Maria; Tsapkini, Kyrana – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2013
We investigated the on-line processing of unaccusative and unergative sentences in a group of eight Greek-speaking individuals diagnosed with Broca aphasia and a group of language-unimpaired subjects used as the baseline. The processing of unaccusativity refers to the reactivation of the postverbal trace by retrieving the mnemonic representation…

The On-Line Processing of Verb-Phrase Ellipsis in Aphasia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poirier, Josee; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Love, Tracy; Grodzinsky, Yosef – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009
We investigate the on-line processing of verb-phrase ellipsis (VPE) constructions in two brain injured populations: Broca's and Anomic aphasics. VPE constructions are built from two simple clauses; the first is the antecedent clause and the second is the ellipsis clause. The ellipsis clause is missing its verb and object (i.e., its verb phrase…

Agrammatic Comprehension Caused by a Glioma in the Left Frontal Cortex

Kinno, Ryuta; Muragaki, Yoshihiro; Hori, Tomokatsu; Maruyama, Takashi; Kawamura, Mitsuru; Sakai, Kuniyoshi L. – Brain and Language, 2009
It has been known that lesions in the left inferior frontal gyrus (L. IFG) do not always cause Broca's aphasia, casting doubt upon the specificity of this region. We have previously devised a picture-sentence matching task for a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, and observed that both pars triangularis (L. F3t) of L. IFG…

Patterns of Comprehension Performance in Agrammatic Broca's Aphasia: A Test of the Trace Deletion Hypothesis
Direct linkDirect link
Caramazza, A.; Capasso, R.; Capitani, E.; Miceli, G. – Brain and Language, 2005
We tested the core prediction of the Trace Deletion Hypothesis (TDH) of agrammatic Broca's aphasia, which contends that such patients' comprehension performance is normal for active reversible sentences but at chance level for passive reversible sentences. We analyzed the comprehension performance of 38 Italian Broca's aphasics with verified…
