of working memory, or of the mechanism for the recovery of lexical items or of the articulatory planning system (see also Kolk, 1995 for a proposal inspired by similar ideas). Limitations in working memory of readers combined with the need for headlines to be effective can be the driving force for article omission in Italian headlines. Finally, we also observed that article omission is higher in nonverbal utterances than in verbal ones. This observation will also be related to limitations of the performance system. Baauw, S. E.

Task dependence effects: What are you asking for? A good context for elicitation of Wh questions Maria Garraffa University of Siena Abstract The aim of this paper is to show how could be relevant to have a good elicitation context for testing production of aphasic patients. The main point is the comparison between two different contexts elaborated for elicitation Wh question. The first was elaborated in elicitation production of Wh structures for investigated agrammatic production (Friedmann, 2002). The second is referred to a task elaborated in acquisition’s research and here used in agrammatic subjects (Thornton, 1995). Task dependence effects are a necessary variable to consider in the production, especially in elicitation task, for valuing if you are eliciting a Wh question. Two Italian agrammatic speakers were tested. 1 Question research In the investigation of agrammatic production a hypothesis recently advanced is that agrammatic subjects could not project the entire syntactic tree (Friedmann, 1995). So, functional material is not randomly omitted but there is a selection guided by structural variables. This hypothesis is called the Tree Pruning Hypothesis. For testing this hypothesis it was selected a type of construction crucially involved in the high domain of the sentence, the interrogatives. This test was conducted first with Hebrews, Arabic and English subjects (Friedmann, 2002). The main asymmetries arise from this article was the difference between Yes/No construction and Wh construction, and a significant number of substitution of Wh question for Yes/No question. This preference for Yes/No question was interpreted by the author in the sense that the Yes/No questions don’t involve movement to CP layer and so they are preserved in agrammatism. On the contrary Wh questions are disturbed for the request movement of the Wh operator in CP. In this paper we want to address the problem of the task dependent effects, and the fact that the substitution for Yes/No question is a preference derivate by this kind of effects and not by the pruning of the structure. 2 Materials and Methodology In this experiments we are interested in the ability of building interrogative sentence starting from different elicitation contexts. We tested two kinds of elicitation contests alternativly in two agrammatic subjects . 2.1 Subjects Pathological subjects : The subject selected, C.D. and M.R. has diagnosticaded an aphasia by standard battery for italian speakers (B.A.D.A.) (Miceli,e coll.), a focal lesion in the left emisphere in area FTP caused by an ictus in the zone of the left artery. The most typicall features arised by the battery are the difficulty in production of verbs, errors in the comprehension of passive sentences with inversion of thematic roles, non fluent production
