(1) We conclude from these six studies that: (a) BN presents a counter-example to the claim that non-fluent patients have particular difficulty with those aspects of morphology which have a syntactic function; (b) BN processes both derived and inflected words by mapping the sensory input onto the entire full-form of a complex word, but the semantic and syntactic content of the stem alone is accessed and integrated into the context.
(2) Syntactical structure of spontaneous speech was typically reduced to short, simple sentence construction.
(3) In regard to hemispheric specialization in interpreting students, no significant asymmetries were revealed in the recognition of semantic and syntactic errors.
(4) Broca's aphasia is characterized by disorders on the phonemic, syntactic and lexical level of linguistic description.
(5) The objective is to comment on some plausible mutual implications of generally attested pathologies and normal models of lexical retrieval for production, particularly with respect to the roles of semantic and syntactic categories.
(6) In addition to words drawn from the relevant lexical domains, nonsense words and words from inappropriate syntactic categories also were presented to the patients.
(7) A statistical count of the syntactic forms used in the written language sample is provided at the end of the analysis.
(8) Maybe that's why it saddens me so much to say that with every passing generation, the original syntactical structure of a language diminishes further.
(9) The second notes the differences in the involvement of semantic versus syntactic information in the tasks used in these studies.
(10) Both patients were impaired in the use of more complex syntactic structures and one, who in addition had severe generalized impairment in frontal lobe function, also had impaired judgement regarding the use and placement of functors.
(11) Ten sentences with complex syntactic structures were elicited, both orally and in writing (e.g., "Who do you think eats fries?"
(12) The purpose of the present study is to explore both the effects of age and the semantic and syntactic structures of reading materials on the omission rate of "de", the most frequently used character in Mandarin.
(13) This study assessed whether the comprehension of specific lexical items (a semantic judgment) and reversible passive sentences (a syntactic judgment) would be facilitated by preceding them with either linguistic or extralinguistic context.
(14) Results indicated that slowing facilitated language comprehension significantly only in the syntactic condition.
(15) Recent studies of aphasia and Parkinson's disease show that functional syntactic ability involves neural structures that also are involved in speech motor control and nonlinguistic cognition.
(16) There have been several attempts in recent years to include objective measures of syntactic complexity as part of an overall language assessment program.
(17) Stimuli that were syntactically structured and contained a sentencelike rhythm were spoken with shorter durations than nonsyntactic stimuli with sentential rhythm but only by 8-year-olds and adults.
(18) We found that listeners follow an answer obviousness rule, utilize their knowledge of objects and the actions they allow as context for sentence interpretation, and do sometimes evaluate the syntactically direct reading of a sentence before arriving at an indirect speech act.
(19) Measures administered included the Western Aphasia Battery, Test for Syntactic Complexity, and Chomsky Test of Syntax.
(20) Results were that parents' signed mean lengths of utterance (MLUs) were lower than those of their children although the majority of their sign utterances were syntactically intact.
