Good writing skills are needed in almost every aspect of life today, and there is a growing interest in research into acquired writing difficulties. Most of the findings reported so far, however, are based on words produced in isolation. The present study deals with the production of entire texts.
The aim was to characterize written narratives produced by a group of participants with aphasia.
METHODS & PROCEDURES: Eight persons aged 28-63 years with aphasia took part in the study. They were compared with a reference group consisting of ten participants aged 21-30 years. All participants were asked to write a personal narrative titled 'I have never been so afraid' and to perform a picture-based story-generation task called the 'Frog Story'. The texts were written on a computer.
OUTCOME & RESULTS: The group could be divided into participants with low, moderate, and high general performance, respectively. The texts written by the participants in the group with moderate and high writing performance had comparatively good narrative structure despite indications of difficulties on other linguistic levels.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Aphasia appeared to influence text writing on different linguistic levels. The impact on overall structure and coherence was in line with earlier findings from the analysis of spoken and written discourse and the implication of this is that the written modality should also be included in language rehabilitation.
如今，良好的写作技巧几乎在生活的方方面面都很重要，人们对后天写作困难的研究兴趣也与日俱增。然而，到目前为止，大多数报告的研究结果都是基于孤立的单词。本研究涉及整篇文章的创作。
旨在描述一组失语症患者所创作的书面叙述。
8 名年龄在 28-63 岁之间的失语症患者参与了这项研究。他们与由 10 名年龄在 21-30 岁之间的参与者组成的对照组进行了比较。所有参与者都被要求写一篇题为《我从未如此害怕过》的个人叙事，并完成一个名为《青蛙故事》的基于图片的故事生成任务。文本是在计算机上写的。
该组可以分为写作能力低、中、高的参与者。尽管在其他语言层面上存在困难的迹象，但写作能力中等和高的参与者所写的文本在叙事结构方面相对较好。
失语症似乎会影响不同语言层面的文本写作。对整体结构和连贯性的影响与之前对口语和书面语篇的分析结果一致，这意味着书面语模式也应该纳入语言康复中。
