“…In another study [42], no significant differences in syntactic complexity (calculated as a percentage of complex T-units) were found between three studied groups (healthy participants and individuals with mild and moderate TBI); however, in this study, the speakers were not generating new narratives, as they were requested to retell a previously presented story. It is then likely that what they had heard provided them with significant cues for producing more complex utterances [42]. In some other studies, the sentence complexity-related discourse of individuals with brain injury did not differ from that of a group of healthy controls [10,18,43].…”

“…In some other studies, the sentence complexity-related discourse of individuals with brain injury did not differ from that of a group of healthy controls [10,18,43]. The disparity in syntactic performance between studies might be due to differences between the type of scaling complexity or task differences [42]. …”

Objective: Studies have shown the presence of narrative discourse difficulties in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI), even in those who do not suffer from aphasia. Yet, there still exist inconsistencies between the results of different studies, in particular at the microlinguistic level. Moreover, a limited number of languages have been studied in this regard. Therefore, this study aimed at examining these skills in Persian-speaking individuals with TBI. The purpose of this pilot study was to analyse the microlinguistic and macrolinguistic skills of these individuals to determine impaired linguistic measures at different levels of narrative discourse. Participants and Methods: Fourteen non-aphasic Persian-speaking persons with TBI (9 with severe TBI and 5 with moderate TBI), aged 19-40 years (mean = 25.84, SD = 5.69), and 61 age-matched healthy adults completed a narrative task. Measures of language productivity, clause density, verbal error ratio, and cohesion ratio were calculated. Also, test-retest and inter-rater reliability coefficients were analysed. Results: The TBI group was impaired in some microlinguistic and all macrolinguistic measures compared to their control peers. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that multi-level narrative discourse analyses of Persian-speaking individuals with TBI may be useful for speech/language pathologists wishing to evaluate communication disorders in persons with TBI.

“…Two main transcription conventions and software programs are used: Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (Miller and Chapman, 2004) and CHAT, the coding language of the Child Language Data Exchange System (MacWhinney, 2000). Language sample analysis has been found to discriminate between children and adolescents with and without TBI in several studies (Biddle et al, 1996;Brookshire et al, 2004;Campbell and Dollaghan, 1990, 1995Campbell et al, 2009;Chapman et al, 1992Chapman et al, , 1997Chapman et al, , 1998Chapman et al, , 2004Chapman et al, , 2006Coelho et al, 2005;Dennis et al, 1994;EwingCobbs and Barnes, 2002;Ewing-Cobbs et al, 1998a;Wilson and Proctor, 2002;Youse and Coelho, 2005). Content validity is high, as samples are taken with relevant partners (e.g., parents).…”

This article addresses the need for age-relevant outcome measures for traumatic brain injury (TBI) research and summarizes the recommendations by the inter-agency Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup. The Pediatric Workgroup's recommendations address primary clinical research objectives including characterizing course of recovery from TBI, prediction of later outcome, measurement of treatment effects, and comparison of outcomes across studies. Consistent with other Common Data Elements (CDE) Workgroups, the Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup adopted the standard three-tier system in its selection of measures. In the first tier, core measures included valid, robust, and widely applicable outcome measures with proven utility in pediatric TBI from each identified domain including academics, adaptive and daily living skills, family and environment, global outcome, health-related quality of life, infant and toddler measures, language and communication, neuropsychological impairment, physical functioning, psychiatric and psychological functioning, recovery of consciousness, social role participation and social competence, social cognition, and TBI-related symptoms. In the second tier, supplemental measures were recommended for consideration in TBI research focusing on specific topics or populations. In the third tier, emerging measures included important instruments currently under development, in the process of validation, or nearing the point of published findings that have significant potential to be superior to measures in the core and supplemental lists and may eventually replace them as evidence for their utility emerges.

“…The lesions associated with discourse deficits are either non-localizable delirium states or anterior frontal (Chapman, et al 1992). Although there are distinct variables of discourse-reference, organization, action, agency, themes, etc.-there does not appear to be a clinically useful taxonomy.…”

Disorders of Language Due to Frontal Injury

Language after frontal injury is usually not overtly aphasic, i.e, the essential instrumentalities of language ? phonology, lexical-semantics, and most aspects of grammar ? are intact. Patients with frontal lobe lesions are impaired at level of assembly of complex language. This impairment has three prototypical forms although there is substantial overlap between the prototypes, both in the language procedures recruited and in the clinical phenomenology. Transcortical motor aphasia is impairment at the level of complex sentence construction. Dynamic aphasia is impairment at the level of schema assembly. Discourse disorder is an impairment of script assembly, reflected as deficient narrative capacity. One model for understanding these disorders is the"action planning"model. The capacity to utilize language instrumentalities to produce goal-directed communications requires the on-line recruitment of a number of procedures (schemas) at various levels of complexity. These procedures are learned within cultural constraints across the lifespan. They may be the single most practiced and over-learned capacities of humans.
