[Verbal comprehension with objects and its comparison with the token test in children].

This study analyzes the results obtained in the child from an application of the Token Test of the De Renzi and Vignolo and compares them with those obtained from the application of a similar Test, in which objects of more familiar semantic field were employed. Normal children ranking from 4 years 0 month to 8 years 11 months were studied for this purpose.

[In the boundaries of aphasia].

The anatomical boundaries of those structures whose lesion leads to the disturbances of language are indistintic and largely exceed the classical "areas of language", including subcortical structures as the thalamus and the non-dominant hemisphere. It is equally indistinct the possibility of definition of aphasic disturbances. On one hand aphasia can be seen within the realm of decodification, as a failure of a mental rather than of a verbal process, close to dementia, while among the codification mechanisms motor aphasia can appear a syndrome of phonetic desintegration with component of apraxic, dystonic and paretic nature. Esquizophasia and agrammatism are two examples of those peculiar disturbances of language. The correlation between disturbances of language and of intelligence is another frontier of aphasies where a causal relationship appears to be well established. Aphasias, interpreted in the beginnings as anatomically localized well defined disturbances of function, are now seen both anatomically and functionally, as a process with indistinct and mixed boundarie related to other equally illimited and indistinct functions.

A neurolinguistic longitudinal study of a pure motor aphasia.

We have made a detailed neurolinguistic study of a patient with motor aphasia. The method used for his reeducation and the variants found in his language from a linguistic point of view through the course of several months are described. During this study we have found similarities with cases studied by Marcie reached by him in the errors common in patients with motor aphasia. But, contrary to Marcies, findings, we have found phonemes and allophones outside of the phonological and/or dilectal system of the language in this area. These phonemes and allophones are described together with the environment in which they appear.

[Comparative study of the structural gramatical performance in dyslalic and dysphasic children].

The comparative performance in the repetition of a set of sentences was investigated in 8 children with developmental aphasia, average 5-7 years and 8 dyslalic ones, average 5-3 years. None presented any hard neurological signs. A battery of sentences was devised for repetition purpose and used as stimulus. Production proved to be less advanced in the group of children with developmental aphasia characterized as follows: highly systematic reduction of the models, lack of consistency in the substitutions both on the phonetic and the lexical levels ill-formed constructions in certain types of structures, high percentage of omission of function words. The dyslalic children's performance however proved to be more advanced and the subjects reproduced well-formed sentences in every single sentence regardless of the sentence length or type. The test devised might turn out to be helpful in practice for the correct diagnosis between patients with developmental aphasia and children with multiple and complex dyslalias.
