title: Transposition of words as indicators of semantic state in aphasia.
abstract: Semantic judgment tasks, based on antecedent pronouns and on word order, were presented to 16 aphasic adult subjects. Responses on the elicited imitation task were better than on comprehension tasks, a finding which parallels the language-acquisition behavior of children. Addition of features to a basic judgment of animate vs inanimate did not affect subjects' performance.
