The Study of Turkish morphology (the use of nominal case markings) in aphasic language (spontaneous and structured speech) and the observation of spontaneous recovery following on set of aphasia: A case study

Patients produce locative case marking the most and ablative /instrumental case marking the least. Although omissions and substitutions are observed in bound morpheme use, they are not sufficient to confirm the general idea that all agrammatics omit and/or substitute bound morphemes. The significant use of paraphasic errors in Broca or Transcortical type of Turkish patients is an unusual result of this study and might be studied to see if it is specific to the languge spoken. The characteristics of agrammatism in Turkish aphasics (in terms of the use of bound morphemes) are not universal but very specific to the typology of the language. "EC YÜKSEKÖ?RETİM &HOTM
