Niewerbalne strategie argumentacyjne w języku osób dotkniętych afazją

Abstract

Researches into aphasic disorders with people suffering from brain damages show that the ability to communicate retains despite disintegration of a language system. In case of severe linguistic disorders, patients use non- verbal codes to realize their communicational intentions. Non-verbal features are used by aphasic patients not only to inform about their needs or to convince of their reasons. Considering global and synthetic character of gestures that are processed in the right hemisphere and damages to the left hemisphere causing aphasic disorders of language motor communication shows a way of conceptualization of the world by patients with brain damages. Despite aphasic difficulties, patients create communicational strategies using methods of persuasion and argumentation similar to those used in non-disordered discourse.
