“…As reported by Bastiaanse et al (2002) agrammatic patients have difficulty with the production of finite verbs in Dutch main clauses. In Dutch, the base position of verbs is argued to be sentence final (Koster, 1975).…”

“…infinitives and gerunds; Bastiaanse, Hugen, Kos & Van Zonneveld, 2002;Kolk & Heeschen, 1992;Thompson et al, 2010) or by incorrect verb inflections (Miceli, Mazzucchi, Menn, & Goodglass, 1983). This characterization seems to be language dependent; for instance, Grodzinksy (1991Grodzinksy ( , 1999 suggests that in languages that allow bare stems, verb inflection is predominantly omitted, whereas in languages where no bare stems are allowed, inflections are substituted.…”

“…For instance, Bastiaanse, Hugen, Kos and van Zonneveld (2002) show that production of finite verbs is harder for Dutch-speaking agrammatic speakers than nonfinite forms. Furthermore, in English, the progressive form V+ing does not seem to be difficult for agrammatic speakers, even though it is considered to be an inflected lexical verb (Abuom & Bastiaanse, 2012;Faroqi-Shah & Thompson, 2004).…”

This study investigates the characteristics of narrative-speech production and the use of verbs in Turkish agrammatic speakers (n = 10) compared to non-brain-damaged controls (n = 10). To elicit narrativespeech samples, personal interviews and storytelling tasks were conducted. Turkish has a large and regular verb inflection paradigm where verbs are inflected for evidentiality (i.e. direct versus indirect evidence available to the speaker). Particularly, we explored the general characteristics of the speech samples (e.g. utterance length) and the uses of lexical, finite and non-finite verbs and direct and indirect evidentials. The results show that speech rate is slow, verbs per utterance are lower than normal and the verb diversity is reduced in the agrammatic speakers. Verb inflection is relatively intact; however, a trade-off pattern between inflection for direct evidentials and verb diversity is found. The implications of the data are discussed in connection with narrative-speech production studies on other languages. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…This implies that verbs with a complex argument structure are more difficult to produce than verbs with simpler argument structure (the Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis: ASCH Thompson, 2003). Also, verbs become more difficult to produce when they undergo a syntactic operation, such as Verb Second in Dutch and German (Bastiaanse, Hugen, Kos, & Zonneveld, 2002).…”

The training of verb production in Broca's aphasia: A multiple‐baseline across‐behaviours study

Background: Verb production is often impaired in Broca's aphasia: Action naming is more affected than object naming and in spontaneous speech the number and/or diversity of lexical verbs is low. Because verbs play a pivotal role in the sentence, these verb problems have a serious impact on the communicative contents of speech in daily life. Aims: The purpose of this study was to increase the informational content of spontaneous speech in two individuals with Broca's aphasia by training them in verb production. Methods & Procedures: Verb production was trained at the sentence level, using the treatment programme Verb Production at the Word and Sentence Level (Bastiaanse, Jonkers, Quak, & Varela, 1997). Six baseline sessions were planned, followed by a training programme to learn infinitives, finite verbs, and sentence construction in one participant and finite verbs, infinitives, and sentences in the other. The participants were tested each week for progress on infinitives and finite verbs not in the programme and an unrelated test. Pre-treatment and post-treatment (directly after and 3 months after treatment stopped) the Aachen Aphasia Test (AAT) and the Amsterdam-Nijmegen Everyday Language Test (ANELT) were administered and spontaneous speech was elicited and analysed with respect to verbs, nouns, and utterance length. Outcomes & Results: Both participants improved significantly on the production of untrained finite verbs. No improvement was made on the untrained infinitives. There was also significant improvement on related subtests of the AAT, but no improvement on unrelated subtests. Both also showed a significant improvement on verb production in spontaneous speech and in verbal communication, as measured on the ANELT. Conclusions. The treatment programme has been shown to be an effective tool for training participants in verb production. The most important criteria for relevant treatment were met: generalisation to spontaneous speech and improvement in verbal communication.
