Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how functors are processed at the lexical-phonological level. Four fluent aphasics with impaired ability to fully activate entries in the phonological lexicon, as revealed by their noun production, were asked to repeat and read aloud individual functors. Similarities between their functor and noun production (e.g., level of performance, production of phonological errors) indicated that functors are stored along with content words in the phonological lexicon, and are stored with a similar abstract structure. We also considered whether the sentence-planning system can facilitate the phonological encoding of functors presented in isolation.

Aphasia

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.
