Sound Symbolism and Aphasia

Sound symbolism is the idea that the sound of a word alone can convey its meaning. Aphasia is a language impairment, occurring most often as a result of a stroke. There is some evidence that sound-symbolic language is preserved in stroke patients. Studies in this protocol will investigate the extent to which this is so, and whether sound-symbolic language could be a rehabilitation strategy for aphasia.

We will ask you to listen to real words and non-words and make judgements about them. We may also ask you to complete some tests of language ability. The total time commitment may be up to four hours but will be split into two sessions.
