COGNITIVE-LINGUISTIC FOUNDATIONS OF AGRAMMATISM: A PSYCHOLINGUISTIC APPROACH
Keywords:
agrammatism, psycholinguistic model, cognitive linguistics, Broca’s aphasia, Levelt model, Garrett model, connectionist approachAbstract
This article examines the cognitive-linguistic foundations of agrammatism within the framework of psycholinguistic models. Agrammatism is closely linked to Broca’s aphasia and is characterized by disruptions in syntactic and morphological processes. The article discusses interpretations of agrammatism based on the classical psycholinguistic model, the Levelt model, the Garrett model, and connectionist approaches. Furthermore, it highlights that from a cognitive linguistics perspective, agrammatism can also be explained by limitations at the semantic and conceptual levels during speech production.
