- Abstract
Relatively little information is currently available on asyntactic comprehension in individuals with poststroke aphasia. The objectives of the present study were therefore twofold: (1) to compare the sentence comprehension abilities of individuals with post-stroke aphasia on a variety of canonically and noncanonically structured sentences and (2) to compare the comprehension performance patterns of individuals with post-stroke aphasia to canonically and non-canonically structured sentences from two distinct clinical tools frequently used in the French-speaking population of Québec (i.e., the Protocole Montréal-Toulouse d'examen linguistique de l'aphasie and the Batterie d'évaluation de la compréhension syntaxique). A sentence--image matching task from each of these two test batteries was administered to 30 individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The task success rates were analyzed as a function of the variables of interest. Results show that individuals with post-stroke aphasia more easily understand canonical sentences (active, subject subject, or cleft subject) than non-canonical sentences (subject object, cleft object, passive full, or passive truncated). Results also reveal similarities and differences in comprehension performance patterns between the two clinical tools; various explanations are discussed. This study contributes to the advancement of our knowledge on normal and pathological sentence comprehension processes and has various clinical implications.
