The on-line processing of verb-phrase ellipsis in aphasia.
5 Apr 2009 
We investigate the on-line processing of verb-phrase ellipsis (VPE) constructions in two brain injured populations: Broca's and Anomic aphasics. VPE constructions are built from two simple clauses; the first is the antecedent clause and the second ... Read more...

Group effects of instrumentality and name relation on action naming in bilingual anomic aphasia.
16 Mar 2009 Verb production in sentences was investigated in two groups of late bilingual Greek-English speakers: individuals with anomic aphasia and a control group. Verb retrieval in sentences was significantly impaired in both languages for the individuals ... Read more...
