AB  - Difficulty reading single words represents a common sequel of acquired neurological injury and common component in aphasic breakdown. Investigation of reading disturbances in Serbian speakers with aphasia has been hampered by lack of any standardised clinical test. We report the development of the Serbian Word Reading Test (SWRT). This first clinical single word assessment for the Serbian language examines reading aloud words from different word classes (concrete and abstract nouns, verbs, adjectives, function words and non-words) and summarises performance based on error types (articulatory, phonological, semantic, neologistic, morphological, visual). Initial piloting with 51 people with aphasia after stroke and 50 control participants without neurological disturbance demonstrated high specificity (0.96) and sensitivity (0.98) for detecting presence of reading impairment. Preliminary comparisons between different aphasic syndromes evidenced contrasting success across varying word-classes. Analyses demonstrated significant differences in susceptibility to different reading errors according to aphasia subtype. Cross-language comparisons show largely similar profiles of breakdown to other languages despite the differing morphological and orthographic characteristics of Serbian. We present the SWRT as a valid and reliable clinical and research tool.

AB  - This study examined patterns of acquired dyslexia in Serbian aphasic speakers, comparing profiles of groups with Broca's versus Wernicke's aphasia. The study also looked at the relationship of reading and auditory comprehension and between reading comprehension and reading aloud in these groups. Participants were 20 people with Broca's and 20 with Wernicke's aphasia. They were asked to read aloud and to understand written material from the Serbian adaptation of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination. A Serbian Word Reading Aloud Test was also used. The people with Broca's aphasia achieved better results in reading aloud and in reading comprehension than those with Wernicke's aphasia. Those with Wernicke's aphasia showed significantly more semantic errors than those with Broca's aphasia who had significantly more morphological and phonological errors. From the data we inferred that lesion sites accorded with previous work on networks associated with Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia and with a posterior-anterior axis for reading processes centred on (left) parietal-temporal-frontal lobes.

AB  - Phonation is a fundamental feature of human communication. Control of phonation in the context of speech-language disturbances has traditionally been considered a characteristic of lesions to subcortical structures and pathways. Evidence suggests however, that cortical lesions may also implicate phonation. We carried out acoustic and perceptual analyses of the phonation of /a/ in 60 males with aphasia (20 Wernicke's, 20 Broca's, 20 subcortical aphasia) and 20 males matched in age with no neurological or speech-language disturbances. All groups with aphasia were significantly more impaired on the majority of acoustic and perceptual measures as compared with the control speakers. Within the subjects with aphasia, subjects with subcortical aphasia were more impaired on most measures compared to subjects with Broca's aphasia, and they, in turn, more impaired than those with Wernicke's aphasia. Lesions in regions involved in sound production-perception result in dysfunction of the entire neuro-cognitive system of articulation-phonological language processing.
