A note on requesting strategies in adult aphasics.
The study is a description of communicative strategies employed by three types of aphasics in varying conversational situations. The research focuses on the aphasics' ability to formulate requests and the propositional adequacy of their speech acts. The results indicate that regardless of etiology or degree of linguistic impairment present, aphasics are generally able to make known to the listener their communicative intentions.
