Background: Rules and regularities are embedded in all the language structures. Extracting these helps in speech-language acquisition and processing. Sentence processing relies on transitional probability of the dependencies and its distance which are present within the sentence. Aim: To investigate the effect of distance between marker agreement dependencies on sentence comprehension in Persons with Aphasia (PWA) and Neuro- Typical Individuals (NTI). Methods: Ten PWA and Ten NTI were recruited for the study. Participants whose native language was Kannada (a South Indian Language) and received formal education of minimum 10th grade were selected. Materials: A total of 60 Kannada sentences were used and grouped into three categories i.e., short sentence (had short distance between dependencies) (SSD); Longer sentences (had long distance between dependencies) (LLD) and longer sentences (had short distance between dependencies) (LSD). The agreement markers in the sentence were manipulated w.r.t distance among them and grouped it as adjacent (short distance) and non-adjacent (long distance) type of sentences. Procedure: The participants were instructed to read the sentence and judge whether it is grammatically correct or not by pressing the key corresponding to 'yes' or 'no' on the keyboard. In addition, modified N-back task was administered. Results and Discussion: Accuracy and reaction time measures were derived for each sentence types. NTI showed better performance than PWA in sentence judgment task. Both the groups, performed poorly on LSD type of sentence when compared to other sentence types. LSD type was more complex due to the syntactic demands placed by the antecedent preposition, pronoun and adverb placed nearer to the verb and also longer distance between subject agreement to the verb.

标记一致性依赖之间的距离对失语症患者句子理解的影响


背景:规则和规律嵌入在所有的语言结构中。提取这些有助于语音语言的获取和处理。句子处理依赖于句子中存在的依赖关系的转移概率及其距离。目的:研究标记一致性依赖之间的距离对失语症患者 (PWA) 和神经典型个体 (NTI) 的句子理解的影响。方法:本研究招募了 10 名 PWA 和 10 名 NTI。选择母语为卡纳达语(一种南印度语言)并接受至少 10 年级正规教育的参与者材料:总共使用了 60 个卡纳达语句子,分为三类,即短句(依赖关系之间的距离短)(SSD);较长的句子(依赖关系之间的距离较长)(LLD)和较长的句子(依赖关系之间的距离较短)(LSD)。句子中的一致性标记被操纵在它们之间的距离上,并将其分为相邻(短距离)和非相邻(长距离)类型的句子。程序:要求参与者阅读句子,并通过按键盘上与“是”或“否”对应的键来判断它是否语法正确。此外,还执行了修改后的 N-back 任务。结果与讨论:为每种句子类型推导出准确性和反应时间测量值。NTI 在句子判断任务中表现出比 PWA 更好的性能。与其他句子类型相比,这两个组在 LSD 类型的句子上表现不佳。由于先行介词、代词和副词放置在离动词较近的位置以及主语与动词之间的距离较长的句法要求,LSD类型更加复杂。
