An investigation into the communicative abilities of aphasic subjects in task oriented dialogue
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on research into three mild to moderate non-fluent Brocatype aphasics engaged with a non-aphasic partner in task oriented dialogue. The research aimed to address the relationship between linguistic and communicative skills of aphasic subjects, in particular, how it is that they can sometimes communicate better than their linguistic abilities would initially suggest. The results indicate that at least some aphasic individuals can compensate for their linguistic deficits (a) by effective and sensitive use of non-verbal gesture (producing on average up to eighteen times as much information carrying gesture than do non-aphasics engaged in the same task) and (b) by relying on the communicative expertise of their non-impaired partner.
