The modularity of the sentence processor, or lack thereof, remains a much-debated issue in psycholinguistics. The authors present evidence from a semantically impaired patient (DM) that bears on this issue. As demonstrated elsewhere (SD Breedin, EM Saffran, & HB Coslett, see record 1996-90000-001), DM suffered a significant loss of semantic knowledge. Here, the authors show that this impairment did not compromise DM's ability to process syntactic information. DM performed well on grammaticality judgment tasks and on sentence comprehension tasks that required the use of syntactic information for the assignment of thematic roles. The resistance of syntactic operations to semantic loss would seem to pose a challenge for models in which" the syntactic and conceptual aspects of processing are… inextricably intertwined"(JL McClelland, M. St. John, & R. Taraban, see record 1991-26409-001, p. 329).(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
