SENTENCE PRODUCTION IN APHASIA

这个项目的目标是调查词汇和 失语症患者造句中的句法因素。词汇因素将 被分为与名词(与名词相关的语义)相关的那些，以及 与动词相关的(动词论元结构)。句法效果 要研究的是那些与词序相关联的词序 动词前后的施动者/施动者(构成顺序)。这个 这些因素在决定句子产出方面的作用将是 对正常受试者和失语症患者进行检查，使用一系列 旨在提供关于失语症的统一证据的不同任务 病人的表现。这些因素将作为独立因素使用 实验中的变量，其中产生词项的能力， 语法元素、句法结构和主位角色将是 从属措施。 这项研究旨在提供有关句子的基本数据 失语症中目前无法获得的产品。这些数据将 与正常句子产生的模式有关。他们最终可能会成为 有助于指导针对失语症患者改善句子的治疗 生产能力。

The goal of this project is to investigate the effects of lexical and syntactic factors in sentence production in aphasia. Lexical factors will be divided into those associated with nouns (noun-related semantics), and those associated with verbs (verb argument structure). Syntactic effects to be explored are those associated with word orders that place the agent/actor of a verb before or after the verb (constituent order). The role that these factors play in determining sentence production will be examined for normal subjects and aphasic patients, using a series of different tasks designed to provide converging evidence regarding aphasic patients' performances. These factors will be used as independent variables in experiments in which the ability to produce lexical items, grammatical elements, syntactic structures, and thematic roles will be the dependent measures. The research is designed to provide basic data regarding sentence production in aphasia that is not presently available. These data will related to models of normal sentence production. They may ultimately be useful in guiding therapy directed at improving aphasic patients' sentence production abilities.
