This study investigates effects of verb movement in nine Dutch-speaking agrammatic aphasics. According to linguistic theory, in verb second languages such as Dutch and German, the verb remains in its clause-final base position in embedded clauses, whereas it moves to second position in main clauses. In recent linguistic accounts of agrammatic sentence production, it has been suggested that the production of sentences with moved verbs is relatively difficult. However, we argue that evidence provided by previous studies on this matter is inconclusive. An experiment is reported in which the production of both types of clauses is compared. No evidence is found that sentences with moved verbs are relatively difficult to produce. In fact, there was a tendency for the base order sentences to be harder. Implications of these findings for theories of normal and agrammatic sentence production are discussed.
本研究调查了九名荷兰语语法缺失失语症患者中动词移位的影响。根据语言学理论，在诸如荷兰语和德语等动词第二位语言中，动词在嵌入子句中保持其从句末尾的基础位置，而在主句中它会移至第二位。在近期关于语法缺失句子生成的语言学论述中，有人提出带有移位动词的句子生成相对困难。然而，我们认为先前关于此事的研究提供的证据尚无定论。本文报告了一项实验，其中对两种类型子句的生成进行了比较。未发现有证据表明带有移位动词的句子生成相对困难。事实上，基础语序句子有更难生成的趋势。讨论了这些发现对正常和语法缺失句子生成理论的影响。
