Summary |
Contemporary and Emergent Theories of Agrammatism provides an in-depth review of the previous five decades of research on agrammatism, focusing specifically on research areas which have been informed by linguistic theory. The book shows what has led to the current turning point in theories of the underlying causes of production and comprehension impairments presented by agrammatic individuals. As well as considering theories emerging in the wake of the recent paradigm shift in agrammatism research, the book also includes chapters on: The impairment of grammatical morphemes, The Trace Deletion and the Tree Pruning Hypotheses, Verbs in sentences and as single words in agrammatic speech, The writing is accessible to facilitate student reading, and the book includes a glossary of unfamiliar terms. Contemporary and Emergent Theories of Agrammatism will be of great interest to advanced students and researchers in areas such as psychology of language, linguistics, psycho/neurolinguistics, aphasiology and speech and language therapy.
