The comprehension of sentences with unaccusative verbs in aphasia: a test of the intervener hypothesis
- Linguistics, PsychologyAphasiology
- 2017
A sentence–picture matching task was used to determine if listeners with agrammatic Broca’s aphasia and age-matched neurologically unimpaired controls have difficulty comprehending unaccusative verbs when placed in subject relative and complement phrase (CP) constructions.

Evidence supports the hypothesis that the delay in lexical activation feeds syntactic processing too slowly, contributing to comprehension deficits in people with agrammatic aphasia.

The data do not suggest a systematic delay in the integration of morphological information in the PWA group, but strong reliance on the ergative case morphology and difficulties assigning thematic roles into the determiner phrases are suggested.

It is argued that a revised version of the trace-deletion hypothesis proposed by Hickok (1992a,b) can explain the present data and other previously unaccountable findings.

It is shown that the group's performance is stable, and well-delineated, despite intersubject variation whose source is now identified, and promotes studies of groups of brain-damaged patients as a central tool for the investigation of brain/behavior relations.
Speed of Lexical Activation in Nonfluent Broca's Aphasia and Fluent Wernicke's Aphasia
- PsychologyBrain and Language

The most parsimonious explanation for the variable findings from priming studies to date is that the primary disturbance in Broca's lexical activation has something to do with speed of activation, and protracted priming suggests failure to dampen activation and might explain the semantic confusion exhibited by fluent Wernicke's patients.

Using a cross-modal lexical priming technique, an on-line examination of the ability of aphasic patients to construct syntactically licensed dependencies in real time indicates that the cerebral tissue implicated in Wernicke's aphasia is not crucial for recovering syntactic licensed structural dependencies, while that implicated in Broca's aahsia is.

The findings are interpreted to suggest that Broca's suffer from a pathological limitation in parsing capacity, giving rise to a faster than normal decay of syntactic information.
