Abstract:

Aphasia is the most common acquired language disorder in adults, resulting
from brain damage, usually stroke. This book firstly explains how aphasia
research and clinical practice remain heavily influenced by rule-based,
generative theory, and summarizes key shortcomings with this approach.
Crucially, it demonstrates how an alternative — the constructivist,
usage-based approach — can provide a more plausible theoretical perspective
for characterizing language in aphasia. After detailing rigorous transcription
and segmentation methods, it presents constructivist, usage-based analyses of
spontaneous speech from people with various aphasia ‘types’, challenging a
clear-cut distinction between lexis and grammar, emphasizing the need to
consider whole-form storage and frequency effects beyond single words, and
indicating that individuals fall along a continuum of spoken language
capability rather than differing categorically by aphasia ‘type’. It provides
original insight into aphasia — with wide-reaching implications for clinical
practice —, while equally highlighting how the study of aphasia is important
for the development of Cognitive Linguistics.
