Abstract
The intrinsic organization of sequences of phonemic approximations (SPAs) to a single target were studied in a conduction (C1), and two Wernicke's (W1–W2) aphasic patients. Thirty-eight SPAs recorded in conversational speech were analyzed. New methods of analysis were proposed in order to investigate different aspects of these SPAs, such as the degree of approximation to the target, the length of the SPAs, the sensitivity to the number of syllables of the target word and different aspects of phonological information. The analysis revealed that different kinds of SPAs may be distinguished according to their degree of intrinsic organization. Results provide some information as to the functioning of monitoring feedback mechanisms implied in on-line processes of speech production.Keywords
