Neuropsychological Approaches to the Study of Language.

Saffran, Eleanor M.

British Journal of Psychology, v73 n3 p317-37 Aug 1982

Discusses recent studies of aphasia from the perspective of theories of normal language structure and processing. Patterns of language breakdown are considered to reflect the componential structure of the language system. Brain damage is seen to fractionate language along lines suggested by existing psycholinguistic models. (Author)
