dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in the interpretation of definite expressions between Broca’s aphasics and patients with a lesion in the right hemisphere, compared to non-stroke individuals. To investigate this, research has been carried out on whether different hemispheres support bridging and/or deixis, based on the interpretation of definite expressions. This has been tested using a truth value judgment task. Patients with an affected Broca’s area and patients with an affected right hemisphere have more problems with the interpretation of definite expression, by bridging and/or deictic use, compared to non-stroke individuals. Based on the obtained results, further examination is needed to receive more results about possible differences in the interpretation of definite expressions between Broca’s aphasics and patients with a lesion in the right hemisphere and possible preferences for bridging or the deictic use.
