title: Disorders of lexical selection.
abstract: Errors in lexical processing are commonplace in language pathologies resulting from brain injury or disease. This discussion considers some of the major recent developments in the interpretation of such errors. The focus is on behavioral systems, rather than neuroanatomical or neurophysiological issues. The objective is to comment on some plausible mutual implications of generally attested pathologies and normal models of lexical retrieval for production, particularly with respect to the roles of semantic and syntactic categories.
