Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’aphasie progressive primaire (APP), décrite par Mesulam en 1982, est une affection neurodégénénérative caractérisée par une détérioration progressive et isolée du langage pendant au moins deux ans, dans un contexte de préservation de l’autonomie. Trois tableaux cliniques d’APP sont actuellement répertoriés : non fluente, logopénique et sémantique. La variante non fluente est caractérisée depuis Mesulam (2003) par la présence d’un trouble syntaxique qualifié d’agrammatisme dans la littérature anglo-saxonne. En pratique clinique, les caractéristiques sémiologiques de ce trouble syntaxique ne correspondent pas au concept classique d’agrammatisme, tel qu’il est décrit dans l’aphasie de Broca d’origine vasculaire. Cette étude vise donc à analyser et comparer les performances syntaxiques de sept sujets présentant une APP (quatre patients APPNF et trois patients APPL) et de leurs sujets témoins appariés grâce à une adaptation en langue française du Northwestern Anagram Test. Une augmentation du temps alloué à la réalisation de chaque item, suggérée par Weintraub et al. (2009), permet d’étudier les performances des sujets en fonction du temps d’exécution de la tâche et d’apprécier la pertinence de ce facteur. En confrontant les performances au test des Anaphrases avec l’analyse syntaxique d’une description orale d’image, cette étude essayera de déterminer si la syntaxe est être un critère pertinent pour distinguer 1’APPNF des autres variantes d’APP.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce mémoire porte sur l'adaptation en français d'une évaluation de la compétence syntaxique chez des patients aphasiques. Nous avons adapté et modifié le NAT©, un test de combinaison de mots qui cible la syntaxe, en s'affranchissant des biais de l'expression orale. Le protocole que nous avons mis au point comprend également une épreuve de compréhension syntaxique, qui nous permet de confronter les résultats en production avec ceux en réception. Notre travail s'est organisé autour de deux axes: l'étalonnage, que nous avons effectué auprès de 39 sujets témoins, et l'expérimentation auprès de 3 patients atteints d'une Aphasie Primaire Progressive et pour qui la compétence syntaxique constitue un critère-clef de différenciation des sous-types. A l'issue de l'analyse des résultats de nos patients, nous pouvons affirmer que le NAT©-AF apporte des informations complémentaires aux épreuves existantes sur le profil langagier des patients APP, notamment dans le cadre du sous-typage de ce syndrome. Cet outil constitue donc un support qu'il serait intéressant de développer.

Download or read book laboration d une valuation multimodale courte des connaissances s mantiques dans le cadre de l aphasie primaire progressive variant s mantique et de la maladie d Alzheimer written by Romane Bourgey and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'évaluation de la mémoire sémantique (MS) constitue un réel enjeu dans la prise en charge orthophonique. La littérature témoigne d'une atteinte sémantique, dès le stade initial, dans les pathologies neurodégénératives telles que l'aphasie primaire progressive variante sémantique (APPvs) et la maladie d'Alzheimer (MA). L'identification de la nature de ce déficit sémantique (trouble d'accès ou central) reste complexe, mais nécessaire, car elle permet une meilleure prise en soins du patient. La présente étude propose l'élaboration d'une batterie courte d'évaluation des connaissances sémantiques (ECCS) qui permet d'étudier, en un temps plus rapide que les batteries disponibles à ce jour, l'efficience de la MS (accès et intégrité) au travers de dix épreuves multimodales permettant aux cliniciens de réduire le temps de passation des bilans. Les données normatives de cette batterie d'évaluation ont été réalisées auprès de 48 participants sains sélectionnés selon les variables socio-démographiques que sont le niveau socio-culturel, l'âge et le sexe. Les hypothèses ont également été vérifiées cliniquement auprès de quatre études de cas (deux patientes atteintes d'APPvs et deux de MA). L'analyse quantitative des résultats a permis de valider notre hypothèse principale de recherche : l'ECCS permet d'objectiver en un temps court (moins d'une heure) une atteinte sémantique auprès de patients atteints d'APPvs et de MA au stade initial. L'analyse qualitative a, quant à elle, permis d'étudier la typologie des erreurs afin d'identifier partiellement la nature du trouble sémantique (d'accès ou central), permettant ainsi d'orienter d'une part le diagnostic, mais également la prise en soins orthophonique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'aphasie progressive primaire (APP) est une atrophie corticale focale dégénérative caractérisée par la présence d'un trouble du langage isolé durant au moins les deux premiéres années de la maladie. Les patients présentant cette affection sont classés selon une typologie Non Fluent / Fluent qui s'appuie sur les résultats des bilans neuropsychologique et orthophonique. L'objectif principal de ce mémoire est d'étudier les profils langagiers présentés dans l'APP à l'aide d'un protocole composé d'épreuves fondées théoriquement et s'inscrivant dans la démarche de la neuropsychologie cognitive. Ces épreuves, déjà existantes ou nouvellement créées, ont en commun l'inclusion de variables psycholinguistiques intervenant sensiblement dans les différents composants des systèmes de traitement. Après une phase de normalisation, ce protocole a été proposé à 4 patients APP dont les résultats ont été confrontés aux données de la littérature.

Download or read book Language and Language Acquisition written by Francis Lowenthal and published by Springer. This book was released on 1982-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F. LOWENTHAL University of Mons Mons, Belgium In September 1980, researchers from many different countries and working in disciplines as varied as philosophy, psychology, neurology, mathematics, education, linguistics, sociology, and others we forget to mention, again met in Mons to discuss problems concerning Language and Language Acquisition. Conflicting opinions among researchers not only from different disciplines, but also within a same discipline, led to many a lively discussion. This book attempts to recreate the atmosphere of the conference, by reproducing the different papers, some of which were rewritten after the initial presentation and discussion-session, and by giving a summary of each discussion session to enable the reader to understand how each participant reacted. Obviously, we accept full responsibility for these summaries: we hope we have understood correctly what each participant meant. This also holds for the special session devoted to an attempt to define the concept of "language". We suggest that further meetings should study language and context simultaneously, within the framework of a "CONTEXTUAL LINGUISTICS".

Download or read book Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition written by Clare Gallaway and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-04-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language addressed to children, or 'Baby Talk', became the subject of research interest thirty years ago. Since then, the linguistic environment of infants and toddlers has been widely studied. Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition is an up-to-date statement of the facts and controversies surrounding 'Baby Talk', its nature and likely effects. With contributions from leading linguists and psychologists, it explores language acquisition in different cultures and family contexts, in typical and atypical learners, and in second and foreign language learners. It is designed as a sequel to the now famous Talking to Children, edited by Catherine Snow and Charles Ferguson, and Professor Snow here provides an introduction, comparing issues of importance in the field today with the previous concerns of researchers.

Download or read book Neuropsycholinguistic Perspectives on Language Cognition written by Corine Astesano and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together experts from the fields of linguistics, psychology and neuroscience to explore how a multidisciplinary approach can impact on research into the neurocognition of language. International contributors present cutting-edge research from cognitive and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics and computer science, and discuss how this contributes to neuropsycholinguistics, a term coined by Jean-Luc Nespoulous, to whom this book is dedicated. Chapters illustrate how researchers with different methods and theoretical backgrounds can contribute to a unified vision of the study of language cognition. Reinterpreting neuropsycholinguistics through the lens of each research field, the book demonstrates important attempts to adopt a comprehensive view of speech and language pathology. Divided into three sections the book covers: linguistic mechanisms and the architecture of language the relationship between language and other cognitive processes the assessment of speech and language disabilities and compensatory mechanisms. Neuropsycholinguistic Perspectives on Language Cognition presents a unique contribution to cognitive science and language science, from linguistics to neuroscience. It will interest academics and scholars in the field, as well as medical researchers, psychologists, and speech and language therapists.

Download or read book Handbook of the Neuroscience of Language written by Brigitte Stemmer and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2008-04-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last ten years the neuroscience of language has matured as a field. Ten years ago, neuroimaging was just being explored for neurolinguistic questions, whereas today it constitutes a routine component. At the same time there have been significant developments in linguistic and psychological theory that speak to the neuroscience of language. This book consolidates those advances into a single reference. The Handbook of the Neuroscience of Language provides a comprehensive overview of this field. Divided into five sections, section one discusses methods and techniques including clinical assessment approaches, methods of mapping the human brain, and a theoretical framework for interpreting the multiple levels of neural organization that contribute to language comprehension. Section two discusses the impact imaging techniques (PET, fMRI, ERPs, electrical stimulation of language cortex, TMS) have made to language research. Section three discusses experimental approaches to the field, including disorders at different language levels in reading as well as writing and number processing. Additionally, chapters here present computational models, discuss the role of mirror systems for language, and cover brain lateralization with respect to language. Part four focuses on language in special populations, in various disease processes, and in developmental disorders. The book ends with a listing of resources in the neuroscience of language and a glossary of items and concepts to help the novice become acquainted with the field. Editors Stemmer & Whitaker prepared this book to reflect recent developments in neurolinguistics, moving the book squarely into the cognitive neuroscience of language and capturing the developments in the field over the past 7 years. - History section focuses on topics that play a current role in neurolinguistics research, aphasia syndromes, and lesion analysis - Includes section on neuroimaging to reflect the dramatic changes in methodology over the past decade - Experimental and clinical section reflects recent developments in the field

Book excerpt: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language. The theoretical issues raised in The Sound Pattern of English continue to be critical to current phonology, and in many instances the solutions proposed by Chomsky and Halle have yet to be improved upon.Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle are Institute Professors of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These papers emphasize the development of detailed models of normal cognitive functioning through the analysis of cognitive impairment. They differ, however, in terms of the cognitive domain investigated and the dominant methodology of the reported research. Areas examined include imagery, attention, memory, and language. A substantial portion of the papers presented address language processing because research on language disorders has been a major focus of interest in cognitive neuropsychological research.

Download or read book Aspects of Linguistic Variation written by Daniël Olmen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguistic variation is a topic of ongoing interest to the field. Its description and its explanations continue to intrigue scholars from many different backgrounds. By taking a deliberately broad perspective on the matter, covering not only crosslinguistic and diachronic but also intralinguistic and interspeaker variation and examining phenomena ranging from negation over connectives to definite articles in well- and lesser-known languages, the volume furthers our understanding of variation in general. The papers offer new insights into, among other things, the theoretical notion of comparative concepts, the social or mental nature of language structure, the areal factor in lexical typology and the diachronic implications of semantic maps. The collection will thus be of relevance to typologists and historical linguists, as well as to people studying variation within the areas of cognitive and functional linguistics.

Download or read book The Social Psychology of Minorities written by and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1978-12-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Us and Them: why do some groups feel superior to others? Why is it that all too often the ‘inferior’ group accepts the evaluation of their status by the ‘superior’ group? What happens when an ‘inferior’ group decides to challenge the ‘superior’ group, and how do they go about it? Can a minority group seek to achieve equal treatment from the majority society but also retain their separate identity? The Social Psychology of Minorities seeks to answer these important questions which are of vital relevance to understanding the social realities of people’s lives and particularly to the mechanics of prejudice and discrimination. Written by Henri Tajfel, former Professor of Social Psychology at Bristol University, this succinct analysis discusses such concepts as the internal and external criteria of a minority group, the effects of social change, and the process and patterns of rejection and acceptance. An important report on a subject which helps to shape the relationship between minority groups and the majority society, The Social Psychology of Minorities will be especially useful to those concerned with social science, education and the achievement of good community relations.

Download or read book Boundaries of Morphology and Syntax written by Lunella Mereu and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-06-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume collects a selection of papers presented at a European Colloquium held at the Università degli Studi di Roma Tre in October 1997. It focuses on phenomena at the boundary between morphology and syntax, and provides analyses for data from the fields of both inflectional and derivational morphology and word order. Morpho-syntactic phenomena are analysed cross-linguistically and cross-theoretically, as typologically-different languages (European, Afro-Asiatic, American and Austronesian ones) are dealt with and compared according to a variety of approaches, from minimalism and lexical-functional grammar to grammaticalization theory, taking into account both synchronic variation and diachronic change. The volume is divided into three sections: I. Morphological phenomena and their boundaries, II. Morpho-syntax and pragmatics, and III. Morpho-syntax and semantics, as the interaction with the higher components of the grammar is seen as contributing to explaining variation in morpho-syntactic behaviour.

Download or read book Language Contact and Bilingualism written by René Appel and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens – sociologically, linguistically, educationally, politically – when more than one language is in regular use in a community? How do speakers handle these languages simultaneously, and what influence does this language contact have on the languages involved? Although most people in the world use more than one language in everyday life, the approach to the study of language has usually been that monolingualism is the norm. The recent interest in bilingualism and language contact has led to a number of new approaches, based on research in communities in many different parts of the world. This book draws together this diverse research, looking at examples from many different situations, to present the topic in any easily accessible form. Language contact is looked at from four distinct perspectives. The authors consider bilingual societies; bilingual speakers; language use in the bilingual community; finally language itself (do languages change when in contact with each other? Can they borrow rules of grammar, or just words? How can new languages emerge from language contact?). The result is a clear, concise synthesis offering a much-needed overview of this lively area of language study.
