Abstract

"This book is a contribution to the ongoing debate in agrammatism, an acquired language disorder resulting from left hemisphere brain damage. The aim of the book is to give a comprehensive account of agrammatism and outlines and critically examines the different accounts of agrammatic production and asyntactic comprehension, to address morphological and structural properties of Moroccan Arabic agrammatic speech, and to put under scrutiny Friedmann and Grodzinsky's (1997) syntactic account of tense and agreement in production and across modalities. The book attempts to answer two important research questions: are tense and agreement dissociated as predicted by the Tree-Pruning Hypothesis (Friedmann and Grodzinsky, 1997); and, is the tense/agreement dissociation 'production-specific', or does it extend to comprehension and grammaticality judgment. A third objective of the book is to examine the comprehension abilities of four Moroccan Arabic-speaking agrammatic subjects in the light of the Trace Deletion Hypothesis (Grodzinsky, 1995 a, b). A major research question is whether or not active sentences and subject relative sentences are understood better than object relative sentences. The book takes the view the tense/agreement dissociation reported for Hebrew (Friedmann and Grodzinsky, 1997) and German (Wenzlaff and Clahsen, 2003) can be replicated in Moroccan Arabic. However, the syntactic account as outlined in Friedmann and Grodzinsky (1997) cannot account for the tense/agreement dissociation as Moroccan Arabic has the agreement node above the tense node. In addition, the Trace Deletion Hypothesis cannot account for the comprehension difficulties experienced by the four Moroccan Arabic-speaking agrammatic subjects; the case is so because both subject relatives and object relatives are understood below chance level. Based on data collected through different experimental methods, it is argued that the deficit in agrammatism cannot be explained in terms of a structural account, but rather in terms of a processing account. Access to syntactic knowledge tends to be blocked; grammatical knowledge, however, is entirely intact."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

"Non-fluent Aphasia in a Multilingual World" is an up-to-date introduction to the language of patients with non-fluent aphasia. Recent research in languages other than English has challenged our old descriptions of aphasia syndromes: while their patterns can be recognized across languages, the structure of each language has a profound effect on the symptoms of aphasic speech. However, the basic linguistic concepts needed to understand these effects in languages other than English have rarely been part of the training of the clinician."Non-fluent Aphasia in a Multilingual World" introduce

Abstract

Im Agrammatismus, einer Sprachstörung infolge einer Hirnschädigung, sind Wortstellung und Flexion beeinträchtigt. Diese Monographie legt eine empirische Studie zum Agrammatismus im Deutschen vor, die auf Spontansprachdaten und experimentell erhobenen Daten von elf Agrammatikern basiert. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die Frage, welche Komponenten der grammatischen Kompetenz im Agrammatismus geschädigt sind. Die Studie zeigt, daß im Bereich der Wortstellung keine qualitativen Unterschiede zu normalsprachlichen grammatischen Repräsentationen vorliegen. Die Stellung des Verbs wird im Agrammatismus wie im normalsprachlichen System von der Finitheit des Verbs und dem Satztyp (Haupt-/Nebensatz) abhängig gemacht. Argumente konnten topikalisiert und mit Objektkasus markiert werden. Selektive Beeinträchtigungen kennzeichnen dagegen den Bereich der Flexion. Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse sind: 1) das Default-Pluralflexiv -s ist geschädigt, die irregulären Pluralflexive sind erhalten; 2) die reguläre Partizipflexion ist erhalten, die irreguläre geringfügig beeinträchtigt; 3) die reguläre Kongruenzflexion ist beeinträchtigt, die irregulären Suppletivformen sind es jedoch nicht. Daß reguläre und irreguläre Flexionsformen vom Agrammatismus unterschiedlich betroffen werden, spricht dafür, daß sie auf verschiedenen kognitiven Prozessen basieren: Während reguläre Formen durch Affigierung gebildet werden, sind irreguläre Formen als Vollformen gespeichert. Die Relevanz dieser selektiven Defizite für die linguistische Theoriebildung wird diskutiert.
