This course is intended as a general introduction to the study of language in aphasia, a cluster of acquired neurogenic language impairments. Beginning with the definition and classification of aphasia, the course will address the manifestations of aphasia at different levels of linguistic structure (phonology and lexicon, morphology and syntax, discourse). We will work with corpus data and reported results. Two general topics will be in focus. First, we will discuss different models of language in aphasia, comparing generative approaches and usage-based approaches. Second, we will focus on research ethics and the specifics of designing and conducting a study with people with aphasia. Last update: Láznička Michal, Mgr., Ph.D. (31.01.2018)

Students will acquire essential background knowledge necessary for the study of language in aphasia. They will become familiar with different types of aphasia and their manifestations. Students will learn to identify and classify aphasic errors. The course will provide basic information about different linguistic levels in aphasic language and the treatment of aphasic symptoms in generative and cognitive functional frameworks. Students will also learn about the specifics of the research process and working with individuals with aphasia. Last update: Láznička Michal, Mgr., Ph.D. (26.09.2016)

The course is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics and related fields. The course does not require any preceding knowledge of aphasia in particular, or linguistic pathologies in general. However, a general linguistic background and a basic knowledge of the generative and cognitive functional branches of linguistics is expected. Last update: Láznička Michal, Mgr., Ph.D. (03.02.2021)
