Presentation of a model for the study of phonology in aphasia, adapted for the bulgarian language

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a model for the examination of phonology in aphasia, discussing the process of its adaptation to the characteristics of the Bulgarian language. A definition of the term “aphasia” and a brief overview of the models for examination of persons with this disorder are presented. Theories related to phonology in aphasia and lexical access are examined, as well as two main approaches in phonology - structuralist and generative. From the commented theories, the opinion is formed that the phoneme and syllable specificities arecritical for language not only in typical individuals, but also in those with aphasia. In order to examine the principle of adaptation of a specialized tool for the studyof phonological processing in aphasia, an already existing foreign language methodology is discussed and its adaptation to the characteristics of the Bulgarian language is presented, which are also summarized. The possible contributions, application and research perspectives of such a specialized study related to the diagnosis and therapy of aphasia are revealed.
