Neurofunctional (re)organization underlying narrative discourse processing in aging: evidence from fNIRS.

abstract：:Perecman (1984) Brain and Language, 23, 43-63, proposes that language mixing (and especially utterance level mixing) in polyglot aphasics reflects a linguistic deficit and that spontaneous translation indicates a prelinguistic processing deficit. It is argued in this comment that both language mixing (including uttera...
