Isi artikel

The current study addresses the debate between so-called ‘structural’ and ‘processing limitation’ accounts of aphasia, i.e., whether language impairments reflect the ‘loss’ of linguistic knowledge or its representations, or instead reflect a limitation in processing resources. Confrontation-naming task and category-judgment tasks were used to examine and compare the performance of non-fluent and fluent aphasics on different compound types of nouns and verbs. We demonstrate that aphasic patients’ performance is modulated by the canonicity of the particular compound type, a result that holds true even for the category in which patients show a ‘selective category deficit.’ These findings weigh against the ‘loss’ of linguistic representations as the underlying cause of noun–verb deficits, instead supporting a ‘processing limitations’ approach.
