The paper offers a review of “The Verbal Systems of Aramaic” by Stefan Bruweleit and advances an account of Aramaic verbal morphosyntax. Early Western Aramaic is modeled as an absolute tense system, not an aspect-dominant one; the Akkadian-Stative pedigree for qṭal is rejected. A genealogical view is retained but tempered by Sapirian “drift,” notably the ...

This article analyzes the syntactic features of presumably nominal and verbal lexemes in argument
positions based on the material of a late classical text of the 1st century AD. “Lunheng”. The main proposed
tool for syntactic analysis is a system of distinctive contexts (allow to determine the syntactic position of
the lexeme under study). Such acriteriahelped to parse ...

The article analyzes syntactic variations of presumably noun and verbal
lexemes functioning as predicates on the evidence of “Lunheng”, a Late Classical Chinese text from the I A. D. One of the basic criteria for differentiating the predicate
position is syntactic distribution, the other being the distinction context (DCon)
approach we have developed for this purpose. This approach relies ...

People with aphasia (PWA) often demonstrate verb and sentence processing impairments, in production as well as in comprehension modalities. Meanwhile, patterns of impairment are typically studied at the group level, in groups of PWA with specific aphasia types (e.g., Broca's aphasia), or in case-series with small sample sizes. Our aim was to investigate if there are consistent ...

Many aphasia assessments and therapies select and/or sequence verbs based on
linguistic complexity of their verb argument structure (VAS). However, further empirical testing is
needed to fully understand whether and how VAS parameters affect the cognitive difficulty of verb
processing in different tasks and contexts.
The study investigated whether more linguistically complex VAS universally implies
more cognitively difficult verb processing, ...

Grammatical versus lexical words in theory and aphasia: Integrating linguistics and neurolinguistics
Boye K., Bastiaanse R., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2018 Vol. 3 No. 1 P. 1–18
The distinction between grammatical and lexical words is standardly dealt with in terms of a semantic distinction between function and content words or in terms of distributional distinctions between closed and open classes. This paper argues that such distinctions fall short in several respects, and that the grammar-lexicon distinction applies even within the same word ...

The study explores whether subject-verb-object in aphasia may be a strategy to self-cue the production of the verb by first retrieving its semantically related arguments. ...

Despite a persistent interest in verb processing, data on the neural underpinnings of verb retrieval are frag- mentary. The present study is the first to analyze the contributions of both grey and white matter damage affecting verb retrieval through action naming in stroke. We used voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) with an action naming task in ...
