“…(en = common gender article = grammatical) (Vinther, Boye & Kristensen, 2014;Christensen, Vinther, Kristensen & Boye, 2019; see also Rosenberg, Zurif, Brownell, Garrett & Bradley, 1985). The definition of grammatical items as dependent on a host item entails the hypothesis that the production of these items is more complicated than the production of lexical items, as reflected in response times and accuracy measures.…”

The production of grammatical and lexical determiners in Broca's aphasia Determiner production is a testing ground for theories of Broca's aphasia and agrammatic speech. On one type of theory, determiner production is impaired in so far as determiners are grammatical items. On another type of theory, determiner production is impaired because determiners depend on verbs for case-assignment. These two types of theories are mutually compatible, but in recent years, research on determiner production has focused on the second type. In order to test the first type, an experiment was carried out which contrasted the production of Danish grammatical determiners (indefinite articles) and lexical ones (numerals) in 5 speakers diagnosed with Broca's aphasia and 4 nonbrain-damaged controls. The results strongly support the first type of theories: 1) in agrammatic speech, only grammatical determiners were omitted to an extent which differs from omission rates in the speech of the controls; 2) substitutions of grammatical agreement markers were found only in agrammatic speech.

“…We conducted two studies in order to examine how attention during reading is affected by word category and focus. Parts of the results of the two experiments have been published in Danish for a Danish audience (Christensen, 2015a(Christensen, , 2015bVinther, Boye, & Kristensen, 2014). Experiment 1 examined attention to specific letters during a letter detection task.…”

Boye and Harder (2012) claim that the grammatical–lexical distinction has to do with discourse prominence: lexical elements can convey discursively primary (or foreground) information, whereas grammatical elements cannot (outside corrective contexts). This paper reports two experiments that test this claim. Experiment 1 was a letter detection study, in which readers were instructed to mark specific letters in the text. Experiment 2 was a text-change study, in which participants were asked to register omitted words. Experiment 2 showed a main effect of word category: readers attend more to words in lexical elements (e.g., full verbs) than to those in grammatical elements (e.g., auxiliaries). Experiment 1 showed an interaction: attention to letters in focused constituents increased more for grammatical words than for lexical words. The results suggest that the lexical–grammatical contrast does indeed guide readers’ attention to words.

“…A growing number of cross-linguistic empirical studies support the ProGram theory. Because grammatical items are by convention discursively secondary, they attract less attention in language perception than lexical items (Vinther, Boye, & Kristensen, 2014;Christensen et al, Sbm.). Because grammatical items have an extra dependency (i.e., they require combination with lexical items), they are associated with longer reaction times and error rates than lexical ones (e.g., Lange, Messerschmidt, & Boye, 2018;Lange et al, 2017).…”

Functional and usage-based approaches to aphasia: the grammatical-lexical distinction and the role of frequency

Background: Functional and usage-based theories of language are gaining increasing influence in linguistics. These theories understand language structure as underpinned by domain-general neurocognitive capacities and as shaped by usage patterns and the function of language as a means for communication. Accordingly, they entail an approach to aphasia which differs markedly from established ones based on formal theories. Aims: Based on an outline of central claims in functional and usage-based theories, we aim to show how such theories can cast new light on aphasia. Methods & Procedures: We focus on two strands of functional and usage-based aphasiological research: 1) research on frequency effects in aphasic speech, 2) and research on the grammaticallexical distinction and its significance for the description of aphasic speech and the understanding of the causes of aphasia. We review available studies that fall within the two aforementioned strands of research, assessing their strengths and limitations.Outcomes & Results: Usage-based methodologies are currently being developed that allow for fast quantification of the degree of formulaicity of a language sample and may thus be helpful in ascertaining the role of fossilized multiword expressions in aphasia. In line with central claims in usage-based linguistics, the first results of studies employing these methodologies have shown that frequency and collocation strength facilitate the retrieval of multiword expressions in a way that resembles the way in which lexical frequency facilitate retrieval of isolated words.A recent functional and usage-based theory understands the grammatical-lexicon distinction as a means for prioritizing parts of complex linguistic messages. Defining grammatical items as items that are discursively secondary (background) and dependent on host items, this theory entails an account of grammatical deficits which bridges the gap between existing structure-oriented and processing-oriented accounts. The theory entails word-class general criteria that allow fine-grained classification of linguistic items as grammatical or lexical. Cross-linguistic studies of verb, pronoun and preposition production show that this classification is significant for the description of aphasic language.
