TLDR
In this article, the AA constructed a multiple choice test to evaluate the ability of the aphasic patients to understand the meaning of words in clusters of semantically similar alternatives, and the clinical usefulness and the psychometric characteristics of the test are discussed.About:

The facilitation of picture naming in aphasia
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of four experiments are described investigating the effects of a number of treatments on the ability of aphasic patients to retrieve picture names, at some time after the treatment is applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semantic feature representations for normal and aphasic language
TL;DR: Aphasic and non-neurological patients grouped nouns on the basis of similarity of meaning as mentioned in this paper, and these word groupings served as input matrices for hierarchical clustering and multidimensional scaling analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The semantic deficit in aphasia: The relationship between semantic errors in auditory comprehension and picture naming
TL;DR: The implications of a semantic deficit common to both auditory comprehension and naming that is not specific to particular lexical items is discussed in relation to a number of information processing models of the lexicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of comprehension errors in Broca's conduction and Wernicke's aphasics.
TL;DR: The purpose of the study was to ascertain if Broca's aphasics have a comprehension defect which is dependent on syntactic relationships, to ascertain how this comprehension defect, if present, is different from that seen in Wernicke's and conduction aphasias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Verbal comprehension in aphasia: an English version of three Italian tests.
TL;DR: An English version of three Italian tests of auditory verbal comprehension in aphasia, using picture-choice, was given to four groups of subjects, including the English Picture Vocabulary Test 3 and Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices.

Fundamentals of Language
TL;DR: This article present a critical survey of Roman Jakobson's views on phonology, a theory of sound patterns, and their stratification, ranging widely over many problems of language and its disturbances, literature and general symbolic behaviour.

TL;DR: This volume consists of two studies, the first a joint essay presenting a critical survey of the author's views on phonology, a theory of sound patterns, and their stratification and an individual contribution from Roman Jakobson ranging widely over many problems of language and its disturbances, literature and general symbolic behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Semantic Word Categories in Aphasia
TL;DR: In this article, aphasic defects in naming or in auditory comprehension of words are sometimes disproportionately severe for certain semantic categories or are even confined to one category, and the question was posed as to whether any regularities existed between such circumscribed deficits and other factors in aphasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntactic comprehension in aphasia.
TL;DR: A test for measuring the syntactic comprehension in aphasic patients is presented: some of its psychometric characteristics and its clinical usefulness are discussed and the performances in verbal comprehension of Broca's and Wernicke’s aphasics are compared.
