An aphasia research agenda–a consensus statement from the collaboration of aphasia trialists
2021
Coordination of international aphasia research would minimise duplication of effort, support synergistic international activities across languages and multidisciplinary perspectives, and promote high-quality conduct and reporting of aphasia research, thereby increasing the relevance, transparency, and implementation of findings. The Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs) sought to develop an aphasia research agenda to direct future research activities, based on priorities shared by people with aphasia, family members, and healthcare professionals. Our established international research network spanning 33 countries contributed to this activity. Research literature reporting the prioritie…
Co utrudnia opis logopedycznych zjawisk? Od słuchoniemoty, afazji wrodzonej i alalii do specyficznego zaburzenia językowego (SLI)

This article, dedicated to Professor Stanisław Gajda because of his anniversary, raises theoretical issues of accuracy and explicitness of terms used in science which are familiar to him. Logopaedics, by virtue of its interdisciplinary character and exposure to borderline of numerous and often very distant from each other sciences such as anatomy, linguistics or physics, significantly uses appropriate for these sciences tools of descriptions (freąuently doubling notions) and thus, it represents a very good example of discipline in which unnecessary overgrowth of terminology makes it difficult to track research results and ąuality analysis of phenomena. Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is …
Lexical Substitution and Paraphasia in Advanced Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
2017
Abstract The paper presents the case study of lexical selection in Alzheimer-type dementia. Lexical substitutions in poem recitation and conversations of a Russian speaker, who suffered Alzheimer-type dementia, were analyzed on the background of the lexical retrieval and slip-of-the-tongue phenomena.

The current context plays an essential role as natural priming for a substitution in a poem recitation. Some words have predisposition to be lost; the units belong to the figurative language or to the category of infrequent lexemes. In conversation, the patient masked fai…
