A corpus-based Study of Agrammatic Aphasia: New Evidence for the Potential Prominent Part Played by Adaptive Strategies in These Patients’ Oral Production

摘要

This study investigates the plausibility ofadaptation theory" in oral agrammatic production by means of large and systematic corpora studies.The hypothesis of agrammatism being, at least partly, an adaptive behaviour is thus tested, following some assumptions put forward by Nespoulous (1973, 2000) and Hoêtede and Kolk (1994).
