“…The present study surveyed some aspects of morphosyntactic elements in PA agrammatism based on spontaneous speech samples. The results showed that omission and/or substitution of grammatical morphemes were mainly characterizing speech of PA speakers with agrammatism, confirming recent studies on agrammatism and its correlates (Darshan & Goswami, 2020;Nerantzini et al, 2020;Yarbay, Kurada, & Aydın, 2020). Furthermore, the analysis showed that article omission was a predominant error.…”

“…Agrammatism is a multi-dimensional deficit, often associated with Broca's aphasia, involving syntactic, morphological, and semantic factors of language production (Gilmore et al, 2019;Idrissi et al, 2021). One main feature of this deficit is grammatical simplification represented in the omission and/or substitution of grammatical morphemes, whether in spontaneous speech or constrained tasks (Yarbay, Kurada, & Aydın, 2020;Darshan & Goswami, 2020;Roberts et al, 2021). Bound grammatical morphemes, such as noun and verb inflections, were most likely substituted compared to omissions of free grammatical morphemes, such as determiners and conjunctions (Klopfenstein, Bernard, & Heyman, 2020).…”

The present study uses a spontaneous speech task to investigate the production of morphosyntactic elements in Palestinian Arabic agrammatism (PA). Eight Palestinian-Arabic-speaking individuals with agrammatism (6 males and 2 females), diagnosed with mild to severe Broca’s aphasia, and 8 age- and gender-matched healthy speakers participated in the study. A speech sample of 100 words from each participant was transcribed and analyzed. Findings showed that substitutions, omissions, simplified sentence structure, and tense inflection errors mostly characterized Palestinian Arabic agrammatism. As for tense and agreement, the speakers with agrammatism showed more tense inflection impairments than agreement inflections. The results suggest that the individuals of PA with agrammatism had marked dissociations in producing certain types of specific morphosyntactic structures, confirming previous findings, mainly from Hebrew and Jordanian Arabic.
