This study investigates the role of number features in the agrammatic comprehension of object relative clauses with preverbal subjects. A sentence-picture matching task was used to assess the performance of four Italian aphasic patients. Results show that the mismatch condition of number features (with the subject singular/plural and the object plural/singular) is computationally the most complex one.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of number features in the agrammatic comprehension of object relative clauses with preverbal subjects. A sentence-picture matching task was used to assess the performance of four Italian aphasic patients. Results show that the mismatch condition of number features (with the subject singular/plural and the object plural/singular) is computationally the most complex one. In this condition, aphasic patients have greatest difficulties in establishing the right set of syntactic relations among the constituents of the sentence.
