Results suggesting that patient groupings on a newly developed profile for the characterisation of pragmatics could be predicted in terms of severity but not of type of aphasia are suggested.
Abstract
The Profile of Communicative Appropriateness — a newly developed profile for the characterisation of pragmatics is described. The theoretical background to this profile is covered as well as its main components. Its application to a group of eighteen aphasic patients is outlined, results suggesting that patient groupings on the profile could be predicted in terms of severity but not in terms of type of aphasia. Explanations for this finding are discussed and the potential utility of this profile is suggested.
