  • Language impairment and generative analysis
    Stopar, Andrej, 1976- ; Ilc, Gašper
    This article deals with different types of language impairment from the perspective of generative grammar. Th e paper focuses on syntactic defi ciencies observed in aphasic and SLI (specifi c ... language impairment) patients.We show that the observed ungrammatical structures do not appear in arandom fashion but can be predicted by that theory of universal sentence structure which posits a strict hierarchy of its constituent parts. The article shows that while the hierarchically lower elements remain unaff ected,the higher positions in the hierarchy show various degrees of syntactic impairment. Th e paper supports the implementation of recent developments in the fi eld of generative grammar with the intention of encouraging further theoretical, experimental and therapeutic research in the field.
