A new structural account of agrammatism is proposed, which analyzes the deficit in terms of one current theory of syntax. First, the motivation for accounts of this kind is given. Then, a variety of experimental findings from sentence comprehension in agrammatism are examined and accounted for in a unified way. It is shown that a minimal change in the syntactic model (achieved by imposing a special condition on a construct called trace), results in a model which accounts for all the data at hand. A number of possible objections to this proposal is then examined, and reasons are given to dismiss these objections. Also, it is shown that this proposal is preferable to other structural accounts which have been recently proposed. Finally, the empirical consequences of this account are discussed, with a special emphasis on the implications for models of language processing.
本文提出了一种关于语法缺失的新结构解释，该解释依据当前一种句法理论来分析这一缺陷。首先，阐述了此类解释的动机。然后，对语法缺失中句子理解的各种实验结果进行了审视，并以统一的方式作出解释。结果表明，句法模型中的微小变化（通过对一个称为“痕迹”的结构施加特殊条件来实现）会产生一个能够解释所有现有数据的模型。接着，考察了对此提议的一些可能异议，并给出了驳回这些异议的理由。此外，还表明该提议优于近期提出的其他结构解释。最后，讨论了这一解释的实证结果，特别强调了其对语言处理模型的启示。
