Abstract

Introduction: NEUROLINGUISTICS is the science concerned with the neural mechanisms underlying the comprehension, production and abstract knowledge of language. Studies on language and communication Impairments after brain damage are perhaps the most common studies of this discipline. This study is concerned with the conversational cohesion patterns used by normal age Persian natives (NA) and those suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Materials and Methods: Six Alzheimer’s patients participated in the research. The participants were matched for age, sex, and education to make six control subjects. Three main tasks were used to assess the impairments of cohesive ties in their discourse: One task of spontaneous speech and two tasks of picture description.Results: NA subjects produced 2.27% structural cohesion ties in 443 sentences while AD subjects used 1.89% of these devices in 235 produced sentences. NA subjects produced .01% of structural cohesive errors whereas AD subjects made 1% errors, especially “exophoric referent errors”, while doing the tasks. As for lexical ties, ADs produced more repetitions (17%) than NAs (10%).Conclusion: The results reveal a significantly greater use of cohesion errors by AD subjects than NAs. The occurrence of cohesive errors alone isn’t a differential diagnosis of such a disease; however, such investigations could provide information for studies on neurological disorders and linguistic theories.
