Disorders Affecting Comprehension of Syntactic Form: Preliminary Results and their Implications for Theories of Syntax and Parsing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Extract
Linguistic analyses of aphasic patients’ performances have developed to the point where interesting, non-trivial descriptions and explanations of pathological performances are available in linguistic and processing terms. The purpose of this paper is to present a short synopsis for linguists of several recent analyses of aphasic patients’ disturbances in the sphere of comprehension of syntactic form. This presentation is designed to illustrate some of the logical and methodological issues regarding the analysis of aphasic data, as well as to present specific results of our investigations. On the basis of our case studies, we also suggest several aspects of syntactic structure and parsing.
