Phonological Processing as a Predictive Indicator of Oral Language Impairment in Aphasia

Summary/Abstract: The present study analyzes the influence of phonological processing on oral language in individuals with aphasia, examining its role as an indicator of the quality of speech production. The study includes 60 participants: 30 individuals with aphasia and 30 controls, assessed using the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination and the Bulgarian-adapted Standardized Assessment of Phonology in Aphasia (SAPA). The research is grounded in the Parallel Distributed Processing Model and the Primary Systems Hypothesis, both of which conceptualize language function as a dynamic network of interconnected cognitive systems. The results demonstrate that the status of phonological processing is directly associated with the degree of oral language impairment in aphasia. The study confirms the importance of phonological mechanisms as a core component of language processing and as a predictive indicator for understanding language deficits in aphasia.
