Communicative effectiveness in Broca's aphasia
Journal of Communication Disorders, 1985The purpose of this study was to investigate communicative effectiveness in aphasia. Five patients with Broca's aphasia and five neurologically normal subjects participated in referential communication and spontaneous conversation tasks. Performance on the referential tasks was used to derive measures of communication success, learning, and efficiency.

Abstract Pierre Paul Broca (1824-1880) was born on 28 June 1824 in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, a small town in the Dordogne, east of Bordeaux, in a Calvinist family.1 His father, who had served as a surgeon in Napoleon’s army, was a general practitioner. Paul attended the local primary and high schools.

The retrieval of syntax in Broca's aphasia
Brain and Language, 1975Eight Broca's aphasics at the Boston Veterans Administration Hospital were administered a story completion test, designed to elicit 14 different English syntactic constructions. The first scorable response to each test item was analyzed with respect to omission of obligatory elements.

Etiology of stroke in Broca's aphasia
Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1991We reviewed clinical and diagnostic data from 36 patients with Broca's aphasia due to stroke who were evaluated at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics between 1982 and 1989. The group consisted of 20 women and 16 men, aged 28-80 (median, 63.5; mean, 57.5).

Compensatory articulation in Broca's aphasia
Brain and Language, 1986Thirteen patients clinically diagnosed as Broca's aphasics, were administered a vowel bite block task to ascertain their on-line compensatory articulation ability. Formant frequencies for F1 and F2 were obtained from a pitch-synchronous spectral analysis of digitized vowel waveforms. Bite block/i/productions were consistently characterized by higher F1

Speech prosody in Broca's aphasia
Brain and Language, 1982Abstract Because speech prosody is thought to be impaired in Broca's aphasia, we conducted three experiments using Broca's aphasics and nonneurological control subjects in order to determine to what extent this statement is accurate. Using three acoustic measures of speech prosody—sentence-final fundamental frequency (F0) fall, F0 declination, and ...

Neurology, 1990
We report 9 cases of aphasia following lesions in the region of the left frontal operculum. It is not possible to capture their variety of clinical manifestations with the simple labels of "Broca's area aphasia." or "Broca's area aphasia." Analysis of the breakdown of various components of speech and language in these cases suggests that the operculum,

On manifestations of aphasia in Catalan: a case study of Broca's aphasia
Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2001Abstract This paper discusses a case of Broca's aphasia in light of the impact of the structure of the patient's mother tongue, Catalan, on the types of errors he makes. What seems to be most affected in the present case, in terms of Kolk's (1995) theory of “structural simplification” —proposed originally for sentence production and comprehension—are

Reconstructive retrieval deficits in Broca's aphasia
Brain and Language, 1984Anterior aphasic patients' ability to utilize the phonemic and/or semantic features of verbal material for retention purposes was investigated. In the first experiment, patients were asked to either detect word repetitions, phoneme repetitions, or rhymes in a list of items.

Lesion Localization in Broca's Aphasia
Archives of Neurology, 1985The recent hypothesis that injury of the left precentral gyrus (PCG) is critical in causing Broca's aphasia implies that right hemiparesis is an inevitable accompaniment of Broca's aphasia and not merely a coincidental neighborhood sign of PCG damage. A right-handed man was evaluated for posttraumatic Broca's aphasia.
