“…This calls for an integrative account in line with Abuom, Shah, and Bastiaanse's (2013) who proposed that these factors are key to define the complexity of an utterance. Passive sentences are consistently found to be more impaired than actives in the languages under investigation (Bastiaanse et al, 2002;Benedet et al, 1998;Beretta et al, 2001;Gavarró & Dotti, 2014;Gavarró & Romeu, 2010;Juncos-Rabadán et al, 2009;Martínez-Ferreiro et al, 2014;Miera & Cuetos, 1998). The same holds for OVS and VSO structures (Miera, 1996;Miera & Cuetos, 1998;Peña-Casanova et al, 2001).…”

Non-fluent aphasia in Ibero-Romance: a review of morphosyntactic deficits

2014

Background: Castilian-Spanish, Catalan, Galician, and European Portuguese are the most widely spoken languages of the Ibero-Romance group. An increasing number of authors have addressed the impact of aphasia on the morphosyntax of these varieties. However, accurate linguistic characterisations are scarce and the different sources of data have not been yet compiled. Aims: To stimulate state-of-the-art research, we provided a comprehensive summary of morphosyntactic aspects of Ibero-Romance and a review of how these are affected in non-fluent aphasia. The topics we dealt with are the use of verb argument structure and morphology, sentential negation and word order, definite articles, personal and reflexive pronouns, passives, topicalised constructions, questions, and relative clauses. Methods & Procedures: An exhaustive fieldwork and search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline records were performed to retrieve studies focused on morphosyntactic issues concerning the Ibero-Romance varieties. A total of 27 studies produced by 46 authors of varying background emerged. We did not review studies of category-specific deficits and aspects related to bilingual aphasia, although we assume that most speakers of Galician and Catalan are bilingual. Studies of spontaneous speech were included when no controlled experimental tasks were available. Outcomes & Results: The morphosyntactic commonalities of Ibero-Romance have been tackled from different theoretical perspectives. There exist asymmetries in findings which we explain with the use of different tasks (and task complexity) and individual differences between participants. Conclusions: Discourse-linking factors as well as deviations from the canonical pattern are recurrent answers to these asymmetries. A comprehensive theory of impairments in non-fluent aphasia integrating relevant aspects of both structural and processing accounts seems necessary.

“…Benedet et al (1998) and Miera and Cuetos (1998) (2010) and Gavarró and Dotti (2014) for Catalan. Contrary to these, Bastiaanse et al (2002) reported percentages of error almost at ceiling for Spanish passive sentences.…”

“…The task included a total of 18 sentences with simple and common words (2), given that its purpose is to detect syntactic disorders rather than lexical difficulties (Swinburn et al, 2004). The main goal of the task is to identify a problem in sentence comprehension without going into the diagnosis of aphasia type, and so a wide range of syntactic structures are included, such as active sentences with one and two arguments (2a), or constructions that have been shown to be problematic in aphasia like passives and clitic left dislocations (2b) (see Gavarró and Dotti, 2014;Salmons, 2015 for Catalan). The task includes five active sentences with two arguments, three active sentences with one argument, two passives, two clitic left dislocations, one sentence with a relative clause, and five sentences with Prepositional Phrases (PP).…”

The main goal of the present study is to investigate visual and verbal short-term memory side to side with sentence comprehension in Catalan-speaking subjects with aphasia in comparison with subjects without brain damage. We aim to examine whether there are any significant correlations between their performance on short-term memory and comprehension tasks in order to evaluate the hypothesis that linguistic and memory deficits in aphasia are the result of a dysfunction of a common mechanism, usually short-term memory. Eigthy-four control subjects and twelve individuals suffering from different types of aphasia were assessed using the Catalan version of the Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT-CAT), which includes one recognition task and two digit and word span tests to evaluate visual and verbal short-term memory, respectively, as well as a sentence-to-picture comprehension task. The results showed that the performance of subjects with aphasia was significantly low on all tasks. Yet, the logistic regression analysis revealed that the magnitude of the differences between the control and experimental group varied across subtests, and that visual short-term memory was better preserved than verbal memory. The results also showed that there were no significant correlations between memory and language comprehension, which rules out the hypothesis that the deficits observed are due to a common underlying mechanism. Individual variation was also observed, specially on memory subtests, which suggest that memory impairments cannot explain the comprehension deficit in aphasia.

“…Entre aquellas que se concentran en factores específicamente lingüísticos, una hipótesis que ha sido extensamente discutida (Berreta et al 2001;Caramazza et al 2005;Gavarró & Dotti 2014;Hanne et al 2011;Miera & Cuetos 1998;Piñango & Burkhardt 2001, entre otros) y que permite explicar el rendimiento diferencial en distintos tipos de oraciones, es la llamada Hipótesis de Supresión de la Huella de Grodzinsky (1986Grodzinsky ( , 2000. Esta hipótesis parte de presupuestos de la lingüística formal, específicamente del marco de la teoría de Rección y Ligamiento de Chomsky (1981) y también presupone la modularidad cognitiva, en especial en el procesamiento del lenguaje (Fodor 1983).…”

ResumenEste trabajo tuvo con objetivo probar un instrumento de evaluación de los déficits en la comprensión de oraciones de sujetos con afasia (SCA) en español e investigar si permite distinguir perfiles entre pacientes. Se diseñó una tarea de emparejamiento oración-dibujo y se manipuló el tipo de estructura sintáctica: oraciones con cláusulas relativas de sujeto (RS-El gato que muerde al conejo es rosa) y de objeto (RO-El gato al que muerde el conejo es rosa). La prueba se administró a 151 hablantes nativos de español, divididos en 3 grupos de edad y en 3 niveles de escolaridad como grupo control y a 5 SCA. Los resultados mostraron que en el grupo control existe una (2018). La comprensión sintáctica en la afasia. Una herramienta de evaluación con cláusulas relativas. ELUA, 32: 317-329. ResumenEl trabajo analiza la potencialidad del territorio para la implantación de parques eólicos en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía. Para ello se construye un modelo locacional utilizando las capacidades analíticas de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y las Técnicas de Evaluación Multicriterio (EMC). En este modelo se señalarán las zonas con mayor potencialidad para la implantación eólica, así como aquéllas en las que ésta resulta desaconsejable o incluso incompatible con otras actividades y usos del territorio. Los resultados ponen en evidencia la existencia de diversas limitaciones en Andalucía para el desarrollo de la energía eólica, pero, además y sobre todo, pueden ofrecer un instrumento de gran utilidad para un impulso ordenado del sector eólico en la región.Palabras clave: AbstractThis paper analyzes the potential of the land to set up wind farms in Andalusia (Southern Spain). A locational model using the analytical capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation Techniques (EMC) has been built. This will be able to point out the areas with the greatest potential for wind power, as well as those in which it is inadvisable or even incompatible with other activities and land use. The results highlight the existence of several constraints in Andalusia to develop wind energy, but also and above all, they provide a useful tool to promote the wind energy industry in the region in an orderly fashion.
