AphasiaBank is a computerized database of interviews between persons with aphasia (PWAs) and clinicians. By February 2011, the database had grown to include 145 PWAs and 126 controls from 12 sites across the United States. The data and related analysis programs are available free over the web. AIMS: The overall goal of AphasiaBank is the construction of a system for accumulating and sharing data on language usage by PWAs. To achieve this goal, we have developed a standard elicitation protocol and systematic automatic and manual methods for transcription, coding, and analysis. METHODS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; PROCEDURES: We present sample analyses of transcripts from the retelling of the Cinderella story. These analyses illustrate the application of our methods for the study of phonological, lexical, semantic, morphological, syntactic, temporal, prosodic, gestural, and discourse features. MAIN CONTRIBUTION: AphasiaBank will allow researchers access to a large, shared database that can facilitate hypothesis testing and increase methodological replicability, precision, and transparency. CONCLUSIONS: AphasiaBank will provide researchers with an important new tool in the study of aphasia.
失语症数据库（AphasiaBank）是一个关于失语症患者（PWAs）与临床医生访谈的计算机化数据库。到2011年2月，该数据库已发展到包含来自美国12个地点的145名失语症患者和126名对照。数据及相关分析程序可通过网络免费获取。目的：失语症数据库的总体目标是构建一个用于积累和共享失语症患者语言使用数据的系统。为实现这一目标，我们开发了一种标准引出协议以及用于转录、编码和分析的系统自动和手动方法。方法#实体开始X00026；程序：我们展示了灰姑娘故事复述转录本的样本分析。这些分析说明了我们的方法在语音、词汇、语义、形态、句法、时间、韵律、手势和语篇特征研究中的应用。主要贡献：失语症数据库将使研究人员能够访问一个大型共享数据库，该数据库有助于假设检验并提高方法的可重复性、精确性和透明度。结论：失语症数据库将为研究人员提供失语症研究中的一个重要新工具。
