Lexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests [PDF]
Purpose: Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

Linking working memory and long-term memory: A computational model of the learning of new words [PDF]
The nonword repetition (NWR) test has been shown to be a good predictor of children’s vocabulary size. NWR performance has been explained using phonological working memory, which is seen as a critical component in the learning of new words.

The relationship between phonology and inflectional morphology in an agrammatic aphasic
The interaction between phonological and morphological breakdown in an agrammatic aphasic was investigated. Three linguistic tasks were constructed which were presented via two modes, reading and repetition.

The relationship between phonological and morphological deficits in Broca's aphasia: further evidence from errors in verb inflection [PDF]
A previous study of 10 patients with Broca’s aphasia demonstrated that the advantage for producing the past tense of irregular over regular verbs exhibited by these patients was eliminated when the two sets of past-tense forms were matched for ...

Triangulation of language-cognitive impairments, naming errors and their neural bases post-stroke
In order to gain a better understanding of aphasia one must consider the complex combinations of language impairments along with the pattern of paraphasias. Despite the fact that both deficits and paraphasias feature in diagnostic criteria, most research

Quantitative, not qualitative, differences in word classification errors as a function of language dominance [PDF]
This paper reports the results of a Cantonese word categorization task that maximized lexical competition. Cantonese-English early bilinguals were presented with a Cantonese word, followed by four images depicting the target word and a tone, rhyme, and ...

Why computational models are better than verbal theories: the case of nonword repetition [PDF]
Tests of nonword repetition (NWR) have often been used to examine children’s phonological knowledge and word learning abilities. However, theories of NWR primarily explain performance either in terms of phonological working memory or long-term knowledge,

Brain plasticity in aphasic patients: Intra- and inter-hemispheric reorganisation of the whole linguistic network probed by N150 and N350 components [PDF]
The present study examined linguistic plastic reorganization of language through Evoked Potentials in a group of 17 non-fluent aphasic patients who had suffered left perisylvian focal lesions, and showed a good linguistic recovery.

Measuring sign complexity: Comparing a model-driven and an error-driven approach
The study of articulatory complexity has proven to yield useful insights into the phonological mechanisms of spoken languages. In sign languages, this type of knowledge is scarcely documented.
