Description

   Syntactic disorders in aphasia manifest several different patterns since syntactic processing involves a number of processes. Also, neurological approach beyond the simple localization idea would be required to investigate neural basis of syntactic processing. The author presented a review of the recent articles on agrammatism, and investigated characteristics of Japanese agrammatism and neurological mechanisms. Results showed that there were different patterns of syntactic deficits associated with processing of verb,verb argument structure, syntactic structure, case particles and auxiliary. The deficits of syntactic structure processing were related to the left inferior frontal lobe and the processing of case particles and verbs to the left temporal lobe too. It is supposed that syntactic processing does not just depend on one brain region, but on an extensive and interactive neural network of brain regions.
