“…It would be interesting to disentangle the effect of word order and frequency-related effects spurred by topicalisation and pragmatic constraints. The data on the passive construction in SI so far show that frequency and/or pragmatic constraints protect the passives from being affected in SI Broca's aphasia, both in comprehension and in production (Anjarningsih et al, 2012;Postman, 2004; current study). Thus, the data also support the idea of Gahl and Menn (2016) that the conditions under which grammatical constructions are used influences aphasic performance.…”

“…If the frequency of the passive construction with its derived order does indeed play a role in SI sentence comprehension of individuals with Broca's aphasia, as expected on the basis of the data of Postman (2004) and Anjarningsih et al (2012), relatively good comprehension of this sentence type is to be expected, even though the SI passive has derived word order, the frequency and pragmatic constraints thus overruling the DOP-H. However, this can only be concluded when influence of derived word order is shown by poor comprehension of SI object cleft sentences.…”

“…As previously mentioned, data on aphasia in SI speakers are very scarce compared to those of Indo-European languages. There are, however, two studies on complex constructions in SI aphasia: one by Anjarningsih et al (2012) and one by Postman (2004). Anjarningsih et al (2012) analysed the agrammatic spontaneous-speech of SI individuals with Broca's aphasia and found that, in addition to characteristics of agrammatism also present in other languages (such as reduced use of functional elements, lower speech rate and lower mean length of utterances), there are two phenomena that seem to be unique to SI: normal verb production and normal production rate of non-canonical structures such as passives.…”

“…Data on standard Indonesian (SI) aphasia are relatively scarce compared to those of Indo-European languages. The available data suggest that SI speakers with Broca's aphasia not only comprehend passive sentences correctly, but also produce them at a rate that is proportionate to healthy speakers (Anjarningsih, Haryadi-Soebadi, Gofir, & Bastiaanse, 2012;Postman, 2004). A marked difference between passive structures in SI and other languages is the frequency in which these structures are used (Sneddon, 1996).…”

The effect of syntactic frequency on sentence comprehension in standard Indonesian Broca’s aphasia

Background: Comprehension of reversible sentences that have derived word order has often been reported as impaired in agrammatic aphasia. Most accounts of this phenomenon refer to the syntactic differences between derived and base word order of the arguments. However, it has been demonstrated that in agrammatic spontaneous speech in standard Indonesian (SI) passives are produced at a rate that is proportional to that of healthy speakers. The main difference between passives in SI and in other languages is the frequency with which passives are used: passives in SI are highly frequent. The high frequency can be explained by the fact that passives are used for politeness reasons, saliency of the passive morphology, earlier acquisition, and formal simplicity of the passive structure. Aims: The purpose of the current study is to investigate comprehension of the passive as a derived structure in SI and the influence of frequency. Methods & Procedures: A sentence-to-picture matching task was developed to test four reversible sentence types (active, passive, subject cleft and object cleft). There are three variables that are of interest, that is, word order, embedding and relative frequency of structures. Eleven agrammatic speakers classified as suffering from Broca's aphasia were tested. Outcomes & Results: The passive sentences were comprehended equally well as the active sentences. Embedding had limited effects: subject clefts were understood as well as actives and passives. Object clefts, however, were understood poorly and significantly worse than the three other sentence types. Conclusions: The sentence comprehension deficit pattern shown in SI individuals with Broca's aphasia introduces frequency of a syntactic structure as an additional factor to consider. Whether frequency or pragmatic constraints protects against erosion of the passive in Broca's aphasia in SI remains an open question.

“…For Indonesian and Swahili, we first did spontaneous speech analyses to define agrammatism in these languages, as this had been done before. The results have been reported in separate papers (Abuom & Bastiaanse, 2012 for Swahili;Anjarningsih, Hayradi-Soebadi, Gofir, & for Indonesian). We will mention the number of the agrammatic speakers for each of the studies.…”

Why reference to the past is difficult for agrammatic speakers

Many studies have shown that verb inflections are difficult to produce for agrammatic aphasic speakers: they are frequently omitted and substituted. The present article gives an overview of our search to understanding why this is the case. The hypothesis is that grammatical morphology referring to the past is selectively impaired in agrammatic aphasia. That is, verb inflections for past tense and perfect aspect are hard to produce.
