Numerous studies have reported multilingual speakers with aphasia in linguistically similar Indo-Europeanlanguages. This study is the first to document the performance of a trilingual Cantonese-English-Mandarin speakerwith aphasia on cognitive and naming tasks. The primary hypothesis was that naming performance would varyaccording to linguistic similarity leading to the prediction that naming performance in Cantonese and Mandarinwould be more similar than performance in English (Paradis, 1993).
