Abstract:

An important development in linguistic models is the shift from construction-
oriented rules to elementary computations that generate complex grammatical 
expressions. In this monograph we presents a systematic linguistic examination 
of an Italian aphasic speaker focusing on locality conditions as configurational 
restrictions on syntactic computations and on functional elements as 
fundamental triggers for computational processes. The explanatory framework 
we adopt considers the grammar to be an integral part of language processing; it 
is a derivational model compatible with well-known parsing strategies such as 
the minimal link condition and the minimal chain principle. This approach to 
aphasia supports the hypothesis that linguistic deficit is an impoverishment of 
procedural capacities that manifests itself in reduced syntactic structures. The 
book is recommended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in 
neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, as well as medical 
researchers and speech therapists interested in the same fields. It can be 
adopted as principal text for the specific domain (Syntax and aphasia).
