Theory and research in aphasiology have typically concentrated on a limited population--right-handed adult monolinguals whose language uses an alphabetic code. Bilingual individuals, ideographical code users, and children (among others) have been separated out. This book examines the available data from these "atypical" aphasics, asking whether what makes them different has a significant effect on language representation and processing in the brain. Each chapter reviews literature pertinent to a given population and explores whether (and potentially how) these populations differ from the "typical" aphasic population. The ultimate goal is to better understand whether the model of language used in aphasiology can be extended to these "atypical" populations, or conversely, whether significant differences merit the development of a new model.

Even if, in recent years, the study of language disorders in
brain-damaged patients has been strongly influenced by models and
experimental paradigms of cognitive neuropsychology, much less
relevant has been the impact of this new approach to language
rehabilitation. Contrasting opinions exist on this subject among
clinicians and researchers. Some authors maintain that cognitive
neuropsychology has not changed and will not change the treatment
of aphasia. Other authors adopt a less pessimistic attitude, either
reporting empirical data that support this viewpoint, or trying to
define more precisely theoretical models, patient's characteristics
and treatment paradigms that should improve the efficacy of
cognitively oriented treatments.
