“…His AOS was rated mild (2 on a 7-point scale), and his Note. The expressive morphosyntax test was from Goodglass, Gleason, Bernholtz, and Hyde (1972), and the receptive morphosyntax items comprised 11 subtests of the Curtiss-Yamada Comprehensive Language Evaluation (Dronkers, Wilkins, Van Valin, Redfern, & Jaeger, 2004). MSE = motor speech evaluation (Wertz et al, 1984); WAB = Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz, 1982); BNT = Boston Naming Test (Kaplan, Goodglass, & Weintraub, 1983); CDR = clinical dementia rating (Morris, 1993).…”

Purpose: Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and accompanying analytical methods are shown to capture and quantify salient aspects of apraxic speech, substantiating and expanding upon evidence provided by clinical observation and acoustic and kinematic data. Analysis of apraxic speech errors within a dynamic systems framework is provided and the nature of pathomechanisms of apraxic speech discussed. Method: One adult male speaker with apraxia of speech was imaged using real-time MRI while producing spontaneous speech, repeated naming tasks, and self-paced repetition of word pairs designed to elicit speech errors. Articulatory data were analyzed, and speech errors were detected using time series reflecting articulatory activity in regions of interest.Results: Real-time MRI captured two types of apraxic gestural intrusion errors in a word pair repetition task. Gestural intrusion errors in nonrepetitive speech, multiple silent initiation gestures at the onset of speech, and covert (unphonated) articulation of entire monosyllabic words were also captured. Conclusion: Real-time MRI and accompanying analytical methods capture and quantify many features of apraxic speech that have been previously observed using other modalities while offering high spatial resolution. This patient's apraxia of speech affected the ability to select only the appropriate vocal tract gestures for a target utterance, suppressing others, and to coordinate them in time.

“…It is manifested by the substitution and omission of free and bound morphemes and deficits in the production of certain functional categories (Friedmann, 2001;Goodglass, 1972). Several studies have indicated that people with agrammatism tend to convey their messages by relying on non-linguistic clues (Grodzinsky, 1984;Goodglass, 1972).…”

Abstract:The current study aims at examining the tense and agreement patterns as produced by agrammatic Palestinian-Arabic speakers using sentence completion tasks. The participants were presented with two sentences and asked to work on them. The first sentence included an inflected verb for both tense and agreement. In the second sentence, the participants were requested to complete a missing verb, where the temporal adverb or the subject's person, gender, or number was changed. The findings revealed that the agrammatic speakers showed a significant dissociation between tense and agreement, whereby tense was significantly more impaired compared to agreement inflections. Similar results are reported from other languages. The results provide further evidence of Tree Pruning Hypothesis (TPH) that functional categories associated with upper nodes in the syntactic tree are more impaired than functional categories associated with the lower nodes of the tree. The selective deficits of the morpho-syntactic structures suggest that specific morphemes should be targeted in therapy programs.

Not only this, there is virtually no attention devoted to the language of Nigerian aphasics (Congress on Child Language and Communication Disorders, 2006).…”

Segmental Phonology of Bilingual Nigerian Adult Wernicke’s Aphasics

Research on the phonology of aphasia has been mainly on the language of aphasics who are first language speakers. Only few studies on Nigerian aphasics have been concerned with linguistic analysis. This situation is quite unhealthy for the treatment and rehabilitation of Nigerian aphasics. Therefore, this paper examined the segmental phonology of bilingual Nigerian Wernicke's aphasics to provide explanation for the noticeable patterns of their phonology. Ten bilingual Nigerian adult Wernicke's aphasics from a Nigerian teaching hospital were purposively sampled. They were both in-patients and out-patients. Their speeches were tape-recorded. The data were subjected to perceptual analysis, complemented with frequency count and simple percentage. Three major forms of deviation were identified at the segmental level of the speech of the subjects: deletion, substitution, and epenthesis, with deletion being the most prominent, followed by substitution. The deviation identified affected consonants more than vowels. The brain damage affected plosives and alveolars more than any other class of sound. There was no consistent pattern of the way the deviation forms affected vowels. Optimality Theory was used to explicate the way constraints were ranked by the subjects. Generally, the subjects ranked markedness above faithfulness.
