DESCRIPTION:\nEvery time that we produce or listen to speech\, we employ a
  combination of semantic\, phonological and syntactic abilities. These dom
 ains of language processing have different characteristics but they must f
 unction cooperatively to enable efficient language behaviour. It is a non-
 trivial exercise to assess degrees of dependence/independence of these thr
 ee 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 seman
 tics: does this affect their phonological and/or syntactic skills?\n
