[Lingtyp] Patholinguistics and "smaller" languages

[Jeremy Bradley]

Dear all,

I am curious about linguistic research pertaining to the impediment of 
the language apparatus, as the result of traumatic head injury or as a 
symptom of neurodegenerative diseases, built on languages other than 
major European languages such as English, German, and French. If you 
happen to be aware of good scholarship of this type, can you point me in 
the right direction? (I have some sources already but want to create an 
overview, especially as regards the question: how does what we've 
observed for European languages translate to typologically distant 
languages?)

Obviously this is an incredibly difficult subject to research in a 
sensitive manner, so perhaps it's not surprising that scholarship on the 
topic is not as diverse as one might hope.

Best,
Jeremy
