What can the study of aphasia tell us about normal language competence? 7. Contrast the differences in behaviour between fluent and non-fluent aphasics. What could explain these differences? 8. Describe the differences between phonological and surface dyslexia. 9. Many researchers have claimed that agrammatism involves a loss of syntactic knowledge. Imagine a type of aphasia that involves a loss of phonological knowledge. How would patients with this type of aphasia behave?
