Linguistics and Aphasia is a major study of recent developments in
applying psycholinguistics and pragmatics to the study of acquired
language disorders (aphasia) and their remediation.
Psycholinguistic analyses of aphasia interpret disorders in terms
of damaged modules and processes within what was once a normal
language system. These analyses have progressed to the point that
they now routinely provide a model-based rationalefor planning
patient therapy. Through a series of case studies, the authors show
how the psycholinguistic analysis of aphasia can be assessed for
its effectiveness in clinical practice.Pragmatic approaches to the
study of aphasia are of more recent origin. Ruth Lesser and Lesley
Milroy evaluate their considerable significance to the study of
aphasia and their relevance to practical issues of diagnosis and
treatment. Controversial analysis, in particular, offers a fruitful
and productive framework within which to assess the functional
adequacy of the language used by aphasic speakers in everyday
contexts.
