| Popis: | We present a study wherein a severe Broca's aphasic patient was trained to learn symbols representing both pure transitive and dative predicates—predicates differing in argument structure—in a visually based artificial language (c-ViC). We found a decrease in performance when two symbols, rather than one, were used to depict these “verbs.” However, this decrease in performance was more pronounced for symbols representing pure transitive verbs—those that allow only one argument structure—than for symbols representing dative verbs—those that allow two different argument structures. Also, dative “verbs” yielded better performance when they were inserted in more complex, three-argument “sentences” than when they were inserted in two-argument “sentences.” The opposite pattern was found for pure transitives. These results are discussed in terms of our claim that argument structure serves as a point of connection between linguistic information and non-linguistic visual information and in terms of the possibility that argument structure entries are shaped by the form in which visual information is parsed. |
