To the relationship between speech and gestures by persons with aphasia: evidence from Czech

Original language description

In my research I work with 6 persons with diagnosed aphasia and 10 healthy control persons (or persons with no evident speech deficiency). From a methodological point of view, I point out a necessity to include description of nonverbal elements into language description and, at the same time, to describe damaged data on persons with aphasia as well. I also introduce some possible perspectives of exploring categories and the extent of speech damage by persons with aphasia and different ways they substitute verbal deficiency with the help of gestures. From the viewpoint of data processing methods, I explore speech parameters on the one hand: among others quantity of words, and parameters of gestures on the other hand: quantity of gestures, diversity of gestures etc. I dedicate my attention to two fundamental hypotheses established by Jakob, et al. (2011): 1) Persons with aphasia produce more gestures than so called healthy control persons during interpretation of texts; 2) The more speech restricted person with aphasia is, the more gestures he/she produces during the interpretation of a text.
