This work describes how the major aphasia  syndromes are manifest in Chinese, a language which differs  significantly from languages upon which traditional aphasia theory is  based. Following the Chinese data, a new explanation for the major  aphasia syndromes is offered based on the cognitive science modularity  hypothesis. The theory posits that Broca's aphasia is the result of  computational deficits that occur within linguistic components, while  Wernicke's aphasia is the result of deficits that occur in the  transfer of information between components. It is demonstrated how the  fluent and non-fluent characteristics of the major aphasia syndromes  follow directly from the properties of cognitive modules.\u003cbr\u003e  Detailed linguistic descriptions of Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia in  Chinese are provided, including a summary of diagnostics of aphasia  type. The complete corpora of four aphasic Chinese speakers, including  interlinear and free translations, are presented in an Appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401049030\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2040-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 324\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398553956492,"sku":"9789401049030","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401049030.jpg?v=1777981168","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401049030","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
