摘要研究了日本布洛卡失语症患者对各类被动句的句法理解能力。根据他们在所谓的“所有格被动语态”和“间接被动语态”上的表现，我们举例说明，布洛卡失语症和语法布洛卡失语症的理解能力指出了间隔被动语态和无间隔被动语态之间的区别，正如Kubo（1990）所提出的那样。本文在假定布洛卡失语症语法中保留了Head参数、theta赋值的方向性参数以及内部论证和外部论证的区别的基础上，提出了日语句法障碍的一种新的结构解释。然后，我们证明了布洛卡失语症通过谓词的参数结构和指定的规范方向来解释句子。研究还表明，所提出的原则可以解释布洛卡失语症在其他类型结构上的表现，并对句法缺陷的语言普遍解释产生了许多影响。
Abstract Syntactic comprehension of various types of passive sentences by Japanese Broca′s aphasic patients was investigated. Based on their performance on the so-called "possessive passive" and "indirect passive," we exemplified that the comprehension abilities of Broca′s aphasics and agrammatic Broca′s aphasics point to a distinction between the gapped and gapless passive, as is proposed in Kubo (1990). We proposed a new structural account of syntactic disorders in Japanese, based on the assumption that the Head parameter, the directionality parameter of theta-assignment, and the distinction between the internal argument and external argument are retained in the grammar of Broca′s aphasics. We then demonstrated that Broca′s aphasics interpret sentences by the argument structure of a predicate and by the canonical direction of the theta-assignment. It was also shown that the proposed principle can account for the Broca′s aphasics′ performance on other types of constructions and that it has many consequences for the language-universal account of syntactic deficits.
