This study focuses on inflectional errors in a group of eight, English-speaking people with agrammatism. Subjects were required to provide inflected verbs in declarative sentences and construct negative sentences. The errors made by these speakers are considered in terms of whether they resemble the errors made by children at the Optional Infinitive Stage. Results confirm that the errors differ from those made by children and that a different explanation is required. Explanations offered by Borer and Rohrbacher (1997) and by Friedmann and Grodzinsky (2000) are discussed but are considered inadequate to deal with our data. It is proposed that agrammatic speakers have problems with the implementation of grammar and particularly with syntactic processes such as feature-checking.
本研究聚焦于一组八名患有语法缺失症的英语使用者的屈折变化错误。受试者被要求在陈述句中提供屈折变化动词并构造否定句。这些说话者所犯的错误根据其是否类似于处于可选不定式阶段的儿童所犯的错误来考量。结果证实这些错误与儿童所犯的错误不同，需要不同的解释。讨论了博勒和罗尔巴赫（1997）以及弗里德曼和格罗津斯基（2000）提出的解释，但认为这些解释不足以处理我们的数据。有人提出，患有语法缺失症的说话者在语法实施方面存在问题，尤其是在诸如特征核查等句法过程方面。
