QUESTION PRODUCTION IN AN ITALIAN AGRAMMATIC SPEAKER: MINIMALITY EFFECTS Maria Garraffa, University of Siena garraffa@studenti.unisi.it Antonino Grillo, University of Utrecht and University of Siena Nino.Grillo@let.uu.nl Research question The goal of this presentation is twofold. Firstly we will present the results of a test on production of WH- questions by an Italian agrammatic aphasic. Secondly we will discuss the results in the light of an approach to agrammatic aphasia developed in Grillo (2003). The basic claim is that, due to a processing resource limitation, aphasic’s syntactic representations could be impoverished of some features necessary for the normal computation of “long distance” 1 chains. Design of the study a. The Subject The subject selected, M.R., has diagnostic an aphasia by standard battery for Italian speakers (B.A.D.A.) (Miceli, & Coll.), a focal lesion in the left hemisphere in area FTP caused by an ictus in the zone of the left artery. The subject shows non-fluent production with omission of functional materials, difficulty in production of verbs, errors in the comprehension of sentences with inversion of thematic roles. These symptoms are commonly defined as agrammatic aphasia. b. Material and methods The task elaborated for the elicitation of question is taken from acquisition’s research (Thornton, 1995) and here readapted for pathologies. The subject M.R. was invited to produce an interrogative sentence after a context created for the elicitation. Elicitation task: a. “Gaia ate something. You want to ask what. So you ask... b. “Gaia went in some place . You want to ask where . So you ask...” In this context the Wh element is already present in the context and the subject has to create the interrogative sentence substituting the indefinite of the first sentence with the Wh and moving it in CP. Results A series of clear asymmetries are registered in the M.R.’s performance with subject vs. object Wh-.
