This paper examines the relative values of syntactic-semantic relationships in the mental lexicon of aphasic patients, which were tested within syntagmatic and paradigmatic networks of lexical relations. Semantic relations, such as synonymy, antonomy, and hyperonymy, as well as collocational and coordinational syntactic-semantic relations, were examined simultaneously. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with nominal aphasia were tested, as well as a control group of 20 healthy subjects. The control group was matched with the aphasic group in terms of dominant hemisphere, age, sex, and job. A naming test based on semantic context was used in this research. The test was presented orally to subjects. After the examiner had read a sentence, subjects were supposed to finish it with a target word (the word which was, through context, in a syntactic-semantic relationship with the rest of the sentence). Sentences were composed of highly frequently occurring words. The categories used in the test were randomly patterned. The resultant data were analysed according to adequate semantic relations of the answers in the given context, and according to the type of the semantic-syntactic relation in 'wrong' answers. Results of this analysis are interpreted according to current psycholinguistic theories.
本文研究了失语症患者心理词库中句法-语义关系的相对价值，这些关系在词汇关系的组合和聚合网络中进行了测试。同时考察了语义关系，如同义关系、反义关系和上位关系，以及搭配和并列的句法-语义关系。对25名被诊断为名词性失语症的受试者以及20名健康受试者组成的对照组进行了测试。对照组在优势半球、年龄、性别和工作方面与失语症组相匹配。本研究使用了基于语义语境的命名测试。测试以口头方式呈现给受试者。在考官读完一个句子后，受试者要用一个目标词来完成句子（这个词通过语境与句子的其余部分存在句法-语义关系）。句子由高频出现的词组成。测试中使用的类别是随机排列的。根据给定语境中答案的适当语义关系以及“错误”答案中的语义-句法关系类型对所得数据进行分析。根据当前的心理语言学理论对该分析结果进行解释。
