ABSTRACT Background: Debate surrounds the relationships between the systems involved in spoken word production, the activation governing production, and the role of syntax in production. Jargon aphasia provides an opportunity to investigate the relationship between syntax and phonology as it often involves retained syntax, alongside phonological deficits shown through neologistic output. Models of spoken word production differ in terms of their accounts of the processing relationships between these two levels of representation, and the degree to which syntax is activated and affects phonology. Aims: We aimed to complete a single case study investigation of the impact of syntactic cues on spoken word production, and to compare data from this implicit task with data from an explicit syntax judgement task. The investigation aims to shed light on different theories of spoken word production, provide new evidence concerning the nature of the deficit in jargon aphasia, and identify potential intervention methods. Methods & Procedures: The participant DP presented with transcortical sensory aphasia, with fluent neologistic output, a comprehension deficit, anomia, and preserved repetition. The investigations into DP’s noun syntax processing included syntactic cueing of naming, and a syntactic judgement task. The cueing task compared cued and uncued naming, where cues provided syntactic information relevant to count or mass noun targets. The judgement task investigated DP’s knowledge of potential determiner plus noun combinations. Outcomes and results: Syntactic cues led to increased overall naming accuracy, increased numbers of nouns, more phonologically related errors, and fewer unrelated word errors. The cues had no effect on the proportion of lexical versus non-lexical responses, nor on rates of semantic errors. In contrast to the positive impact of cues, DP showed limited knowledge of the meanings of determiners via the explicit judgement task. Conclusions: The evidence supports a spoken word production theory that has feedforward only activation from the syntactic to the semantic level, but allows interaction between syntactic and phonological representations. This account explains the lack of semantic errors, and the increase in phonologically related errors in the cued condition. DP’s difficulties completing the explicit judgement task provide more evidence of the need for online tasks which address language processing directly. New evidence of positive effects of syntactic cues on word retrieval informs future interventions for speakers with jargon aphasia.

术语失语症口语命名的句法提示

摘要 背景:辩论围绕着口语生产所涉及的系统、控制生产的激活以及句法在生产中的作用之间的关系展开。术语失语症提供了一个机会来研究句法和音系之间的关系,因为它通常涉及保留的句法,以及通过新词输出显示的音系缺陷。口语生成模型的不同之处在于它们对这两个表示级别之间的处理关系的描述,以及句法被激活和影响音系的程度。目标:我们旨在完成一项关于句法线索对口语产生影响的案例研究,并将来自该隐式任务的数据与来自显式句法判断任务的数据进行比较。该调查旨在阐明口语产生的不同理论,提供有关术语失语症缺陷性质的新证据,并确定潜在的干预方法。方法和程序:参与者 DP 表现出经皮层感觉失语症,具有流畅的新词输出,理解障碍,失语症和保留的重复。对 DP 名词句法处理的研究包括命名句法提示和句法判断任务。提示任务比较了提示和非提示命名,其中提示提供了与计数或质量名词目标相关的句法信息。判断任务调查了 DP 对潜在限定词加名词组合的了解。结果和结果:句法提示提高了整体命名的准确性,增加了名词的数量,更多与语音相关的错误,更少的无关单词错误。这些线索对词汇与非词汇反应的比例没有影响,对语义错误率也没有影响。与线索的积极影响相反,DP 通过明确的判断任务显示出对限定词含义的有限了解。结论:证据支持口语产生理论,该理论仅具有从句法到语义级别的前馈激活,但允许句法和语音表示之间的交互。这个解释解释了缺乏语义错误,以及线索条件下语音相关错误的增加。DP 完成明确判断任务的困难提供了更多证据,证明需要直接处理语言处理的在线任务。
