Abstract
Epileptic patients, undergoing the carotid amytal test for determination of the side of cerebral speech dominance, attempted to identify various objects during the period of induced dysnomia. The difficulty in naming objects was related principally to the incidence of the initial and final phonemes of the names of the objects. Objects with names that have initial phonemes of low frequency and final phonemes of high frequency tended to be identified correctly more often than objects with names that have the converse pattern of initial and final phonemes.Keywords
