PLEASE NOTE: THIS TALK WILL START AT 3.00PM

Every time that we produce or listen to speech, we employ a combination of semantic, phonological and syntactic abilities. These domains of language processing have different characteristics but they must function cooperatively to enable efficient language behaviour. It is a non-trivial exercise to assess degrees of dependence/independence of these three domains; but one approach is to study performance on various tasks by patients with a primary deficit in only one of the three domains. Patients with semantic dementia have a relatively selective deterioration of semantics: does this affect their phonological and/or syntactic skills?
