Abstract
We provide an overview of research on the syntactic comprehension deficits of English and German speaking agrammatic Broca's aphasic patients. Following a brief introduction of early work on this topic during the first half of the century, we concentrate, mainly, on studies carried out within linguistically informed frameworks. We argue that the trace deletion hypothesis ( e.g., Grodzinsky 1995b) and derivatives of this interpretation of agrammatic comprehension ( e.g., Hickok and Avrutin 1995) cannot account for the variety of performance patterns agrammatic Broca's aphasics display. Other theories such as the hypothesis in terms of impairments ofCase (Druks and Marshall 1995) however are able to account for a wider range of deficits.
