Nonverbal communication as a compensative strategy for severely nonfluent aphasics? A quantitative approach.

abstract：:In this study, the linguistic performance of 20 patients with acute conduction aphasia (CA) is described. CA presented as a relatively homogeneous aphasic syndrome characterized by a severe impairment of repetition and fluent expressive language functions with frequent phonemic paraphasias, repetitive self-corrections...
