Abstract

Assessment and therapy for people with word-finding deficits proceed from an assumption that a semantic representation maps directly onto a phonological form. Recent theories of spoken word production (e.g. Dell et al, 1997; Levelt, et al, 1999) propose however an intermediate syntactic level. If this account is correct it is feasible that deficits may arise in the syntactic level.
