The study is qualitative research using case study approach. The primary data on this study were collected by purposive sampling whose subject was a global aphasia sufferer who had obtained language rehabilitation during one-year period. The secondary data were taken by using in-depth interview with the family, therapist, and subject's neighborhood. The data were analyzed by comparing the in-depth interview result and the field notes of research. The result showed that the individual with global aphasia still had pragmatic abilities, although s/he could produce meaningless words and sounds.

The gestures and intonations performed by the individual with global aphasia were nodding and shaking head, and moving hands; while the forms of intonation changes were sudden change in intonation, imitating sounds, and whisper.

Representative Speech Acts of People With Multiple Aphasia (Case Study on Khairudin)

“…Apart from the deviation of the speech act, there are also deviation of directive, expressive commissive and declarative acts. However, a different form was found from the study conducted by Santoso, et al [12], when compared with this study. Research conducted by Santoso et a [12], emphasized more on pragmatic studies in terms of vocabulary and phonetics.…”

“…However, a different form was found from the study conducted by Santoso, et al [12], when compared with this study. Research conducted by Santoso et a [12], emphasized more on pragmatic studies in terms of vocabulary and phonetics. The vocabulary mastered by global aphasia sufferers is very little.…”

“…This is as seen in conversation (1) and in conversation ( 2), but this is not found in conversation (3). Based on the description of the data that has been stated, the results of the research in this study are different from the research conducted by Suryani [18], Suryani and Suantoko [19], and Santoso, et al [12].

Based on the National Aphasia Association (in Santoso, et al), aphasia is divided into several special characteristics, namely anomic, conductive, transcortical, wernicke, sensory, broca, and global aphasia [12]. However, the focus of this study is only on Wernicke's aphasia and sensory aphasia.…”

“…In addition, this study also found that in addition to media therapy in the form of drug administration, language therapy can also be done. In addition, there are other researchers who conduct research on aphasia, such as Santoso, Andayani, and Setiawan [12] regarding pragmatic studies on language vocabulary and phonetics, with the object of research being global aphasia sufferers. The results of the research findings are that the pragmatic aspects of the object of the research are influenced by several things such as the previous speech context, the experience of speech partners in interacting with speakers, the use of gestures and intonations.…”
