黃帝內經 (99-26 B.C.) 靈樞。憂恚無言第六十九》: 「黃帝問於少師曰:人之卒然憂恚,而言無音者,何道之塞,何氣出行,使音不彰?願聞其方。少師答曰:咽喉者,水穀之道路也。喉嚨者,氣之所以上下者也。會厭者,音聲之戶也。口唇者,音聲之扇也。舌者,音聲之機也。懸壅垂者,音聲之關也。頏顙者,分氣之所泄也。橫骨者,神氣所使,主發舌者也。故人之鼻,洞涕出不收者,頏顙不開,分氣失也。是故厭小而疾薄,則發氣疾,其開闔利,其出氣易。其厭大而厚,則開闔難,其氣出遲,故重言也。人卒然無音者,寒氣客於厭,則厭不能發,發不能下,致其開闔不致,故無音。黃帝曰:刺之柰何?岐伯曰:足之,上繫於舌,絡於橫骨,終于會厭。兩瀉其血脈,濁氣乃辟。會厭之脈,上絡任脈,取之天突,其厭乃發也。」

2008 Milestones in the History of Aphasia: Theories and Protagonists (Brain Damage, Behaviour & Cognition) by Tesak/Code (Author)

This book surveys the history of aphasia from the earliest mentions of speech and language impairments in ancient times, medieval attempts to understand aphasia, and the momentous events of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries up to the development of modern cognitive neuroscience. It traces the development of theory about and understanding of aphasia, and the role of significant individuals in this history. It aims to be accessible to undergraduates and postgraduates, researchers, teachers and clinicians in psychology, speech and language pathology and therapy, neurology and linguistics.

The present research was carried out to determine whether Jakobson's claim that Broca's aphasic patients emit chiefly semantic paraphasias of the similarity type, whereas Wernicke's aphasic patients produce mainly paraphasic substitutions of the contiguity type, can be supported by data gathered for clinical purposes under controlled conditions. Semantic paraphasias produced by 96 aphasic patients on a standard test of visual naming were taken into account. Three independent judges, blind to aphasia type, classified all responses retained as semantic substitutions into one of the following four categories: those having 1) a strong similarity, 2) a strong contiguity, 3) a mild similarity, and 4) a mild contiguity relation to the correct word. No relationship was found between type of semantic paraphasias and clinical form of aphasia. Furthermore, irrespective of the clinical form of aphasia, aphasics tend to give more similarity substitutions than contiguity substitutions.

The Sonority Dispersion Principle (Clements, 1990) states that the sharper the rise in sonority between the beginning of the syllable and the nucleus, the better the syllable. So far evidence in favour of this principle has been derived mainly from the distributional properties of syllable types and, to a lesser extent, from language acquisition. The case of DB, presented in this study, provides strong evidence that the Sonority Dispersion Principle also applies to an explanation of aphasic errors and revives Jakobson's idea that the same principles of complexity can explain the distribution of syllables, language acquisition, and language loss (Jakobson, 1941, 1968). Although some evidence that sonority constraints aphasic errors has been presented before, this is the first study reporting systematic effects of sonority-based complexity in aphasia.

When children are in the process of learning their mother tongue, they show frequent use of nonfinite clauses, even though they produce finite clauses at the same time, thereby demonstrating the availability of the functional domain associated with finiteness. In this study the hypothesis was tested that this behavior results from an overuse of the normal elliptical repertoire that has also been observed in agrammatic aphasia. The purpose of this overuse is prevention of computational overload. In support of the hypothesis it was found that children behaved very similar to aphasics and normal adults with respect to the following parameters: (a) distribution of types of ellipsis, (b) elaboration of ellipses, (c) word order, (d) subject omission, (e) frequency of weak subject pronouns, and (f) verb type (eventivity). The results also support the Jackson/Jakobson regression hypothesis, at least at the grammatical level.
