Intonational patterns and comprehension in Broca's aphasia

The goal of the study is to determine whether the deficit is syntactic in nature and that aphasic individuals preserve their phonological abilities intact. This has important implications, since it contributes to achieve a more complete characterization of agrammatic comprehension and to report new data from the Romance languages. Here, an experimental task is designed and carried out with six catalan Broca's aphasics, in order to find out whether they preserve their phonological skills. The results establish that Catalan aphasics' comprehension does not result from a phonological impairment
