Phonological complexity may be central to the nature of human language. It may shape the
distribution of phonemes and phoneme sequences within languages, but also determine …

Research on aphasia has struggled to identify apraxia of speech (AoS) as an independent
deficit affecting a processing level separate from phonological assembly and motor …

This study examined the effects of morphological complexity on aphasic speakers with
lexical–phonological output deficits. Subjects were two fluent and two nonfluent aphasic …

Background: Effects of word frequency on language comprehension and production are
pervasive in speakers with and without aphasia. Frequency effects at the sentence level are …

There is a long standing debate between aphasiologists on the essential factor that
constitutes the behavioral patterns of loss and preservation in agrammatic Broca's aphasia …

Background: Apraxia of speech (AOS) is generally viewed as a disorder of phonetic
encoding. According to current theories, the phonetic encoding process is considered to be …

There are several accounts of why some individuals with post-stroke aphasia experience
difficulty in producing morphologically complex verbs. Although a majority of these …

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the existence of a strong and significant effect of
complexity in aphasia independent from other variables including length. Complexity was …

Many people with aphasia show effects of word length on the accuracy of their word
production. However, it is unclear from previous research whether this is an effect of number …

Models of normal word production are well specified about the effects of frequency of
linguistic stimuli on lexical access, but are less clear regarding the same effects on later …
