A Survey into Western Studies of Aphasia, Language and Formulaic Chunks

Abstract

Abstract: Traditionally aphasia has been a very important topic in the domains of clinical medicine and neuroscience. In recent decades, with the multidisciplinary cooperation of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience, clinical medicine, etc., aphasia has become a hot topic in the field of linguistics. In western countries, studies on aphasia and language (including formulaic chunks) are numerous and fruitful. In the present article, we are going to summarize and comment on the studies of aphasia and language (including formulaic chunks) abroad from the following three aspects: (1) the changing processes of the theories of aphasia and language (including formulaic chunks); (2) the historical developments of the studies between aphasia and language as well as formulaic chunks; (3) the development trend of aphasia and language, and aphasia and formulaic chunks. Thus, this article aims to marshal the research processes in this area, and to provide new insights and research methods for linguistic aphasia studies at home so as to accelerate the research on aphasia and Chinese language, esp. aphasia and formulaic chunks, and finally to promote the development of linguistics, neuroscience and other disciplines.

Keywords: aphasia; language; formulaic chunks; brain; intelligence; interdisciplinary

摘要： 失语症传统上隶属临床医学和神经科学范畴，近些年来随着语言学与认知神经科学、临床医学等学科的交叉合作，它也成了语言学研究的重大课题。在欧美国家，失语症与语言及语块相结合的研究已取得令人瞩目的成就。本文将从失语症研究中大脑与语言关系之理论演变，失语症与语言及语块研究历史进程以及失语症与语言及语块研究未来发展趋势3方面对失语症与语言及语块在域外相结合的研究作一综述，以期梳理该领域的研究进程，为国内失语症与语言及语块研究者提供新的研究思路、研究视角和研究方法，从而加速汉语失语症与语言及语块相结合的研究步伐，推动语言学、神经科学等学科的发展。
