An analysis of referrals to speech and language therapy in 11 centres, 1987-95.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Given the integral role that verbs play in sentence production, understanding verb deficits is critical to clinical practice. Difficulties in sentence production are often directly related to an inability to retrieve argument structure information which, according to most theoretical accounts, is specified a...
