“…In other words, the elusive finding of generalized improvement in word retrieval skills, for example, as indicated by greater accuracy scores on treated and untreated sets of target words, has been the exception rather than the rule in published studies. 26 This has led to several studies in which the primary goal has been improved reliability of production for purposefully trained items, for example, usually vocabulary items, which are agreed to be communicatively relevant to an individual participant, 5,[27][28][29] where generalized improvement in word retrieval skills was taken to be a possible but not a probable therapy outcome. Such studies have negotiated target words for training on the basis of likely everyday use in conversation or general interaction; proper names of family members and friends are one example.…”

“…Los principales métodos desarrollados con aplicación concreta en Lingüística Clínica son los que adoptan la perspectiva etnográfica e interaccional y el análisis del discurso y conversacional (Kirk y Miller, 1886;Codesido, 1997;Damico et al, 1999;Simmons-Mackie y Damico, 2001;Herbert et al, 2003;Perkins, 2005;Damico y Ball, 2008;Müller et al, 2008;Wilkinson, 2008).…”

ResumenLa Lingüística Clínica es un nuevo ámbito de aplicación del conocimiento lingüístico. Su reconocimiento oficial en Reino Unido, en el año 1972, queda lejos de lo que en España hemos alcanzado y podemos esperar. En nuestro país los estudios de lingüística clínica, de base exclusivamente lingüística, aparecen tímidamente a partir de 1998. Son poco más de diez años los que esta aplicación convive con otras ramas de la lingüís-tica externa, sin que se haya reconocido su importancia y su autonomía. Su reciente aparición en el campo de la Lingüística en España supone en primer lugar que (a) existan pocos lingüistas especializados en esta materia; (b) que no se hayan creado criterios lingüísticos descriptivos y metodológicos suficientes y necesarios para la recogida y análisis de datos clínicos sobre la lengua española; (c) que el conocimiento lingüístico de los logopedas sea escaso y/o inadecuado para la práctica clínica, dada la escasez de lingüistas entendidos; (d) que el conocimiento de los pocos lingüistas entendidos en patologías del lenguaje que existen en nuestro país poco haya contribuido a la elaboración de herramientas que ayuden al logopeda a la evaluación e intervención con la finalidad de mejorar la comunicación, la lengua y el habla del paciente.El lenguaje y sus alteraciones han sido estudiados desde muchos ámbitos disciplinarios. La Lingüística Clínica no ha de ser ajena a las contribuciones que desde otras disciplinas se aportan a este conocimiento, pues avanzar en el desarrollo de esta nueva aplicación de la Lingüística supone saber cómo, qué y por qué puede alterarse la capacidad para la comuniAbstract Clinical Linguistics is a new field of application of linguistics. Official recognition in the United Kingdom in 1972, is far from what we have reached in Spain and what we can expect to achieve. In our country clinical linguistics research, linguistically based, timidly appeared in 1998. It has been little more than ten years since this application of linguistics has co-existed with other branches of the external Linguistics, without having hadits importance and its autonomy recognized yet. Its recent appearance in the field of linguistics in Spain, means that (a) there are few specialized linguists in speech and language disorders; (b) no sufficient linguistic criteria have been established for the description and methodology necessary for the collection and analysis of clinical data in the Spanish language; (c) the linguistic knowledge of speech and language therapists is limited and / or inappropriate for clinical practice given the lack of linguists expert in this field, (d) the knowledge of the few linguists experienced in language pathologies that exist in our country has contributed little to the development of effective programs to help speech therapists to the assessment and intervention to improve communication, language and speech of the patient.Language and its disorders have been studied from many disciplinary areas. Clinical linguistics should not be unconnected to contributions ...

“…The majority of studies treating nouns with a lexical therapy have not measured effects on connected speech. Exceptions are Herbert, Best, Hickin, Osborne & Howard, 2003;Hickin et al (2007), Peach andReuter (2009), Greenwood, Grassley, Hickin &, and Best, Grassley, Greenwood, et al (2011), which attempted to track changes in conversation or connected speech. Findings to date are mixed, for example Best et al (2011) found no improvement in conversation for around half of the participants.…”

“…The first approach addresses noun retrieval in an interactional or a discourse context, in an attempt to bridge the gap between the task used in therapy of associating words with pictures, and the everyday function of retrieving nouns in spontaneous speech (e.g. Greenwood et al, 2010;Herbert et al, 2003;Hickin et al, 2007;Peach & Reuter, 2009). …”

Language therapy for word-finding difficulties in aphasia usually involves picture naming of single words with the support of cues. Most studies have addressed nouns in isolation, even though in connected speech nouns are more frequently produced with determiners. We hypothesized that improved word finding in connected speech would be most likely if intervention treated nouns in usual syntactic contexts. Six speakers with aphasia underwent language therapy using a software program developed for the purpose*, which provided lexical and syntactic (determiner) cues. Exposure to determiners with nouns would potentially lead to improved picture naming of both treated and untreated nouns, and increased production of determiner plus noun combinations in connected speech. After intervention picture naming of treated words improved for five of the six speakers, but naming of untreated words was unchanged. The number of determiner plus noun combinations in connected speech increased for four speakers. These findings attest to the close relationship between frequently co-occurring content and function words, and indicate that intervention for word-finding deficits can profitably proceed beyond single word naming, to retrieval in appropriate syntactic contexts. We also examined the relationship between effects of therapy, and amount and intensity of therapy. We found no relationship between immediate effects and amount or intensity of therapy. However, those participants whose naming maintained at follow-up completed the therapy regime in fewer sessions, of relatively longer duration. We explore the relationship between therapy regime and outcomes, and propose future considerations for research.
