A Sentence to Remember: Instructed Language Switching in Sentence Production

Cognition, 2015
In the current study, we set out to investigate the influence of a sentence context on language switching. The task required German-English bilinguals to produce responses based on an alternating language sequence (L1-L1-L2-L2- …) and concepts in a specific sequential order.

Sentence production in students with dyslexia

International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2008
Background:While spoken language deficits have been identified in children with developmental dyslexia, microanalysis of sentence production proficiency in these children is a largely unexplored area.Aims:The current study examines proficiency of syntactic production in children and young adults with dyslexia and typically developing age‐matched ...

Management of Sentence Production Demands

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1984
This study examined the effects of variations in language complexity on young children's phonological accuracy and consistency of target words. A more general intent was to understand better the way in which developmental level and children's tolerance of speech variability influenced the management of processing demands.

The Effects of Anodal Stimulation of the Left Prefrontal Cortex on Sentence Production [PDF]

Brain Stimulation, 2014
Most studies in which Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (A-tDCS) has been used to improve language production have focused on single words. Yet sentence production requires more than lexical retrieval.

Sentence production in Parkinson’s disease

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2018
While growing evidence reports changes in language use in non-demented individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), the presence and nature of the deficits remain largely unclear. Researchers have proposed that dysfunctioning fronto-basal ganglia circuit results in impaired grammatical processes, predicting qualitatively similar language impairments ...

Syntactic Facilitation in Agrammatic Sentence Production

Brain and Language, 1998
Recently, proposals have been made to relate processing difficulties in aphasic language performance to limitations in resources for grammatical processing (Carpenter et al., 1994; Hagiwara, 1995; Kolk, 1995; Martin & Romani, 1994). Such proposals may account for a defining characteristic of agrammatic sentence production: reduced syntactic complexity.

Unaccusativity in Sentence Production

Linguistic Inquiry, 2018
Linguistic analyses suggest that there are two types of intransitive verbs: unaccusatives, whose sole argument is a patient or theme (e.g., fall), and unergatives, whose sole argument is an agent (e.g., jump). 1 Past psycholinguistic experiments suggest that this distinction affects how sentences are processed: for example, it modulates both ...

Verb Retrieval and Sentence Production in Aphasia

Brain and Language, 1998
This paper presents a subject with a selective verb retrieval deficit. Nouns were produced more successfully than verbs in spontaneous speech, picture naming and when naming to definition. The word class effect was not observed in comprehension tasks, reading aloud or writing.

Intonational Disambiguation in Sentence Production and Comprehension

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2000
Speakers' prosodic marking of syntactic constituency is often measured in sentence reading tasks that lack realistic situational constraints on speaking. Results from such studies can be criticized because the pragmatic goals of readers differ dramatically from those of speakers in typical conversation.

Stimulation of sentence production in a case with agrammatism

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1987
A multiple base-line single-subject experimental design was employed to study effects of a sentence stimulation treatment on sentence production in an aphasic patient with agrammatism. Prior to this seven-week study, the subject had not been using speech functionally for six months.
