Background: Natural metalinguistic abilities, which are put into play without explicit instructions, constitute the cognitive basis for a “reflexive” use of language, a particular manifestation of the executive function when applied to language and verbal behaviour. This reflexive use entails a specific attentional activity by speakers and hearers with regard to linguistic outputs, and an intentional experience-based control over the language use. Putting into play natural metalinguistic abilities can be considered a significant factor for explaining different kinds of adaptive processes. Aims: Preliminary research on natural metalinguistic abilities as manifested in people with aphasia will be described in this paper. Our research has been conceived to provide an integrated protocol exploring techniques and skills that reveal a reflexive use of language. Some of these techniques and skills have recently been studied in aphasiology using different methods and from different theoretical perspectives. Metho...
