(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.

(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.

(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.
Syntax
Definition:
(n.) Connected system or order; union of things; a number of things jointed together; organism.
(n.) That part of grammar which treats of the construction of sentences; the due arrangement of words in sentences in their necessary relations, according to established usage in any language.
Example Sentences:
(1) This method seems the best way to evaluate the respective interactions of intonation with syntax and pragmatics.
(2) Therefore it would be valuable to use a representation that would allow: knowledge transfer between different systems, users, experts and 'importers' to be able to evaluate the logic, experts to easily input their knowledge and be guided how to use the syntax.
(3) Both of these programs utilize a logical syntax permitting easy identification and partition of a data set.
(4) Processing load was varied systematically while holding syntax constant in an effort to determine whether processing factors contribute to poor readers' comprehension problems, or whether poor readers are simply lacking the structural knowledge required to understand sentences containing temporal terms.
(5) Between the sequential motor-phoneme identification and memory systems were sites where only naming or reading were altered, including sites related exclusively by syntax.
(6) discrimination of language features like phonematics, syntax, semantic, and their lateralisation within ages) as far as standard-scales for all-over-accuity and lateralisation will exist.
(7) The retrieval efficiency was tested using STAIRS-IBM program product with the syntax operators "or", "and", "not", "with", and "adj".
(8) The syntax is easy to learn and may be used with a minimum of training.
(9) Measures administered included the Western Aphasia Battery, Test for Syntactic Complexity, and Chomsky Test of Syntax.
(10) A third purpose was to reexamine the claim that despite their semantic-pragmatic deficiencies, the syntax of hydrocephalic children is age appropriate.
(11) We present a stroke patient with impaired morphology but, unlike Broca's aphasics, relative sparing of syntax.
(12) Both samples of disabled readers appeared able to use syntactic information as an independent source of sentential information in reading, even the sample whose reading disability was associated with oral syntax deficits.
(13) Song syntax, defined as orderly temporal arrangements of acoustic units within a bird song, is a conspicuous feature of the songs of many species of passerine birds.
(14) After a survey of relevant descriptions in the literature the postoperative linguistic findings (lexic and morphology, syntax, relationship between idea and expressive realization) are described and compared with similar findings in the literature.
(15) The enigmatic patience of the sentences, the pedantic syntax, the peculiar antiquity of the diction, the strange recessed distance of the writing, in which everything seems milky and sub-aqueous, just beyond reach – all of this gives Sebald his particular flavour, so that sometimes it seems that we are reading not a particular writer but an emanation of literature.
(16) The current research takes the approach of asking whether the prosodic characteristics that are distinctive to motherese could play a special role in facilitating the acquisition of syntax.
(17) We studied "formal thought disorder" in schizophrenics, schizoaffectives, and manics by examining syntax processing and perception of meaning, using the "embedded click" and "memory for gist tasks," two paradigms that were developed by psycholinguists.
(18) Discretion also governs another feature of the typically Wodehousean syntax – abbreviation.
(19) According to the problems, different appropriate methods of dialogue were used: the simple sequential dialoque, command languages and, for more complex input, a syntax analyser.
(20) It covered three areas: (1) grammar, syntax, and prose style; (2) construction of scientific papers; and (3) the submissions and review process.
