Context And Comprehension - A Neurolinguistic And Interactional Approach To The Understanding Of Semantic Pragmatic Disorder

Sahlén, Birgitta LU and Nettelbladt, Ulrika LU (1993) In European Journal of Disorders of Communication 28(2). p.117-140
Abstract
In the present study we provide thorough descriptions of two children with a semantic-pragmatic disorder, a subgroup within the group of specific and severe developmental language disorders, from a neurolinguistic and interactional perspective. We argue that the pragmatic problems, at least in these two girls, are most probably secondary to their semantic'conceptual deficit. If sufficient contextual cues are provided comprehension is improved and, as a consequence, the pragmatic problems are reduced.

Abstract in German

In der vorliegenden Studie geben wir eine eingehende Beschreibung, aus neurolinguistischer und interaktioneller Sicht, zweier Kinder mit einer semantisch-pragmatischen Storung - einer Unterart innerhalb der Gruppe von spezifischen, schweren sprachlichen Entwicklungsstorungen. Wir vertreten den Standpunkt, dafi die pragmatischen Probleme, zumindest bei diesen zwei Mddchen, wahrscheinlich eine sekundare Folge ihres semantischlkonzeptuellen Defizits sind. Wenn genugend Kontexthinweise gegeben werden, erhoht sich der Verstehensgrad, und folglich reduzieren sich die pragmatischen Probleme. (Less)
