“…Of the 35 studies, 24 statistically analyzed differences between tenses. Twelve studies (Bastiaanse, 2008;Jonkers and de Bruin, 2009;Bastiaanse et al, 2011;Marusch et al, 2012Marusch et al, , 2017Martínez-Ferreiro and Bastiaanse, 2013;Rofes et al, 2014;Nerantzini et al, 2020;Alqhazo and Abu, 2021;El Ouardi, 2021;Tsiwah et al, 2021;Kurada et al, 2022) found that people with aphasia have more difficulties producing one tense compared to the other assessed tenses: the past was more altered than the present and/or the future in 11 studies, and the future was more altered than the present in one study (Koukoulioti and Bastiaanse, 2019). One study (Dragoy and Bastiaanse, 2013) did not detail the effect of time, and no study found that present was the most impaired tense.…”

Time reference is used to build the temporal framework of discourse and is essential in ensuring efficient communication. Several studies have reported time reference deficits in fluent and non-fluent aphasia and have shown that tenses (past, present, future) are not all impaired to the same extent. However, there is little consensus on the dissociations between tenses, and the question of the influence of the type of aphasia (fluent vs. non-fluent) on time reference remains open. Therefore, a systematic review and an individual participant data meta-analysis (or mega-analysis) were conducted to determine (1) whether one tense is more impaired than another in fluent and non-fluent aphasia and, if so, (2) which task and speaker-related factors moderate tense effects. The systematic review resulted in 35 studies reporting the performance in time reference of 392 participants. The mega-analysis was then performed on 23 studies for a total of 232 participants and showed an alteration of past tense compared to present and future tenses in both types of aphasia. The analysis also showed a task and an age effect on time reference but no gender effect, independently of tenses. These results add to our knowledge of time reference in aphasia and have implications for future therapies.

“…It could be argued that this task poses demands beyond sentence planning and that, therefore, results reflect task effects rather than (or, in addition to) PWAs’ ability to produce negative and affirmative sentences. The same objection could be leveled against not only sentence anagrams but also other frequently used tasks, such as sentence completion and picture description (e.g., Hofstede & Kolk, 1994 ; Nerantzini et al, 2020 ). However, despite the possible task effects, control groups outperformed PWAs, which shows that the sentence anagram task distinguishes neurotypical speakers from participants with brain damage.…”

The ability of persons with non-fluent aphasia (PWAs) to produce sentential negation has been investigated in several languages, but only in small samples. Accounts of (morpho)syntactic impairment in PWAs have emphasized various factors, such as whether the negative marker blocks or interferes with verb movement, the position of the Negation Phrase in the syntactic hierarchy or the interpretability of negation. This study investigates the ability of German- and Italian-speaking PWAs to construct negative sentences, as well as the role of verbal working memory (WM) capacity and education in task performance and production of sentential negation. German and Italian differ in the syntactic properties of the negative markers that are relevant here (nicht and non, respectively). A sentence anagram task tapping into the construction of negative and affirmative declarative sentences was administered to 9 German- and 7 Italian-speaking PWAs, and to 14 German- and 11 Italian-speaking age- and education-matched healthy volunteers. We fitted generalized linear mixed-effects models to the datasets. There was no significant difference between negative and affirmative sentences in either group of PWAs. There was a main effect of verbal WM capacity on task performance, but no interaction between verbal WM capacity and production of negative vs. affirmative sentences. Education did not affect task performance. The results are discussed in light of different linguistically-informed accounts of (morpho)syntactic impairment in non-fluent aphasia.

“…These studies demonstrated that language difficulties encountered in aphasia and related disorders are best explored within theoretical frameworks based on which falsifiable hypotheses and predictions can be generated and tested. Of the nine studies included in this SI, seven studies focused on aphasia (Adelt et al, 2020;Aziz et al, 2020;Martínez-Ferreiro et al, 2020;Martini et al, 2020;Maviş et al, 2020;Nerantzini et al, 2020;Peristeri et al, 2020) and two studies focused on disorders related to aphasia: traumatic brain injury (TBI) (Arcara et al, 2020) and neglect dyslexia (Abbondanza et al, 2020). The studies on aphasia included a review paper (Martínez-Ferreiro et al, 2020), five studies on syntactic processing (Adelt et al, 2020;Aziz et al, 2020;Martini et al, 2020;Maviş et al, 2020;Peristeri et al, 2020), and a study on morphosyntactic/morphosemantic production (Nerantzini et al, 2020).…”

In particular, they investigated the ability of Greek-speaking individuals with agrammatic aphasia to refer to different time frames (past, present, future) by means of verb morphology.…”

Background: Aphasia research has been informed by linguistic theory to a great extent. Conversely, linguistic theory has also been informed by data from people with aphasia, albeit to a lesser extent. Aims: This overview to the Special Issue of Aphasiology entitled "Aphasia and linguistic theory: What we have captured so far" presents a narrative review that aims to illustrate the contribution of linguistic theory to aphasia research, and also includes a section that presents the articles making up the special issue. The narrative review, which is not exhaustive, highlights influential theoretical frameworks and linguistic constructs that have been central to accounts of language impairment in aphasia. Main Contribution: The overview illustrates the contribution of linguistic theory to aphasiology and paves the way for the development of a unified approach to aphasia, which will incorporate insights not only from theoretical linguistics, but also from other complementary fields, such as psycholinguistics, cognitive (neuro) psychology, and neuroscience of language.
