“…e selective, post-operative normalization of oral expression compared to the persistent grammatical disorder in written expression remains puzzling, especially in the absence of aphasia. Typically, spoken and written productions display similar error patterns in agrammatic aphasia subjects (Goodglass, 1993;Turkstra and ompson, 2011). To the best of our knowledge, the exceptional instances in which a production de cit selectively spared grammatical utterances in an output modality, while selectively a ecting them in the other, have only been reported in the context of aphasia (Miceli et al, 1983;Goodglass, 1993;Rapp and Caramazza, 1997;Miceli, 1999;Vandenborre and Mariën, 2014).…”

A 40-year-old, non-aphasic, right-handed, and polyglot (L1: French, L2: Dutch, and L3: English) woman with a 12-year history of addiction to opiates and psychoactive substances, and clear psychiatric problems, presented with a foreign accent of sudden onset in L1. Speech evolved toward a mostly uent output, despite a stutter-like behavior and a marked grammatical output disorder. The psychogenic etiology of the accent foreignness was construed based on the patient's complex medical history and psychodiagnostic, neuropsychological, and neurolinguistic assessments. The presence of a foreign accent was af rmed by a perceptual accent rating and attribution experiment. It is argued that this patient provides additional evidence demonstrating the outdatedness of Whitaker's (1982) de nition of foreign accent syndrome, as only one of the four operational criteria was unequivocally applicable to our patient: her accent foreignness was not only recognized by her relatives and the medical staff but also by a group of native French-speaking laymen. However, our patient de ed the three remaining criteria, as central nervous system damage could not conclusively be demonstrated, psychodiagnostic assessment raised the hypothesis of a conversion disorder, and the patient was a polyglot whose newly gained accent was associated with a range of foreign languages, which exceeded the ones she spoke.

Speech evolved toward a mostly fluent output, despite a stutter-like behavior and a marked grammatical output disorder. The psychogenic etiology of the accent foreignness was construed based on the patient’s complex medical history and psychodiagnostic, neuropsychological, and neurolinguistic assessments. The presence of a foreign accent was affirmed by a perceptual accent rating and attribution experiment.
