“…In Brazil, the first descriptions of aphasia are found in the beginning of the 20th century, with the works and thesis supervised by Prof. Antônio Austregésilo 1 , 2 at the Medical Faculty of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Instruments for Language assessments were already evident in the 1950s, in the publication "New test for diagnosis of aphasia", 3 but aphasia evaluation remained a medical domain. The influence of speech therapists that worked during and after the World Wars, demonstrating the benefits of interdisciplinarity, occurred in Brazil only in the 1970s.…”

The objective of this paper was to describe the evolution of language assessments in patients with acquired neurological diseases over a period of around 45 years from 1970, when interdisciplinarity in Neuropsychology first began in Brazil, to the present day. The first twenty years of data was based on memories of Speech Pathology University Professors who were in charge of teaching aphasia. We then show the contributions of Linguistics, Cognitive Psychology, as well as Psycholinguistic and Psychometric criteria, to language evaluation. Finally, the current panorama of adaptations and creations of validated and standardized instruments is given, based on a search of the databases Pubmed, Scopus and Lilacs. Our closing remarks highlight the diversity in evaluation approaches and the recent tendency of language evaluations linked to new technologies such as brain imaging and computational analysis.
