title: Aphasic deficits in syntactic processing.
abstract: Two main classes of theories of deficits in syntactic processing in aphasia have been suggested: impairments affecting specific syntactic operations and reductions in resources available for syntactic processing. This paper reviews the data upon which such theories are based and argues that they may support only the latter type of model.
