dc.description.abstract | The 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. | |
