Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Neurolinguistics
  • Psycholinguistics

Background:

  • Agrammatic aphasia affects language production and comprehension.
  • Understanding pronoun interpretation in aphasia is crucial for linguistic theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pronoun interpretation in Dutch agrammatic aphasics.
  • To differentiate between linguistic theories of pronoun distribution using experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental study with Dutch agrammatic aphasic patients.
  • Analysis of pronoun interpretation in transitive clauses and Exceptional Case Marking (ECM) constructions.

Main Results:

  • Results were inconsistent with the Government and Binding theory.
  • Results supported the Reflexivity and Primitives of Binding theories.
  • The Primitives of Binding framework provided the most natural explanation for the findings.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights differences in performance between transitive clauses and ECM constructions.
  • Processing resource limitations in aphasia may influence pronoun interpretation.
  • Findings favor the Primitives of Binding framework for explaining pronoun distribution.
