In recent publications, Grodzinsky (1984, 1986, 1990) has offered a new theory of the disruption of sentence comprehension in so-called agrammatic aphasics. In these works Grodzinsky contends that his account, which is based in various ways on the formal apparatus of current syntactic theory (Chomsky, 1981), is an accurate and explanatory characterization of the preserved language of all those who present with both agrammatic sentence production and asyntactic sentence comprehension. We argue that this claim is not in accord with the facts. We present a detailed case study of the sentence comprehension performance of a patient who is clinically categorized as agrammatic. This patient's performance on full and truncated passives, and on subject- and object-cleft sentences fails each of Grodzinsky's predictions for these sentence types. We argue that whether there exists any patient who does exhibit the predicted performance pattern is also in serious doubt.
在最近的出版物中，格罗津斯基（1984年、1986年、1990年）提出了一种关于所谓语法缺失性失语症患者句子理解障碍的新理论。在这些著作中，格罗津斯基认为，他的理论以各种方式基于当前句法理论（乔姆斯基，1981年）的形式框架，是对所有表现出语法缺失性句子产出和句法缺失性句子理解的患者所保留语言的准确且具有解释性的描述。我们认为这一说法与事实不符。我们对一名临床上被归类为语法缺失性失语症的患者的句子理解表现进行了详细的案例研究。该患者在完整和简化被动句以及主位和宾位分裂句上的表现均未符合格罗津斯基对这些句子类型的预测。我们认为是否存在确实表现出预测表现模式的患者也存在严重疑问。
