Resolução Anafórica e Foco do Discurso: O Caso do Pronome Demonstrativo Francês "Híbrido" Este (celui-ci) Anaphoric Resolution and Discourse Focus: The Case of the French "Hybrid" Demonstrative Pronoun (celui-ci)

Na tradição da teoria da centralização, muitos estudos mostraram uma sensibilidade significativa dos pronomes anafóricos para se referir às entidades focalizadas na representação do discurso. Essa sensibilidade estaria ausente nas expressões explícitas e nos substantivos repetidos. De acordo com os princípios dessa teoria, apresentamos um experimento com o objetivo de estudar a função referencial de identificação de uma expressão híbrida, o pronome demonstrativo "este". Os resultados indicam que a utilização dessa expressão está fortemente restringida pelas entidades de focalização e estaria motivada a estabelecer o centro de atenção sobre uma entidade mediamente focalizada. Esses resultados são discutidos à luz da teoria da centralização.<br>In the tradition of centering theory, many studies have shown a significant sensitivity of anaphoric pronouns to refer to focus entities in a discourse representation. This sensitivity would be absent with more explicit expressions like the repeated nouns. According to the principles of this theory, we present an experiment aiming at studying the function of the referential identification of a hybrid expression: the demonstrative pronoun celui-ci. The results indicate that the use of this expression is strongly constrained by the entities of focalization and it would be motivated to establish the center of attention on a mild focus entity. These results are discussed in the light of centering theory

Verb and noun generation tasks in Huntington's disease

International audienceAbstract We compared noun‐ and verb‐generation tasks in a demented group (n = 9, Dementia Rating Scale ≤ 129) and in a non‐demented group (n = 17, Dementia Rating Scale > 129) of Huntington's disease (HD) patients compared to 26 matched normal subjects. We did not find a specific deficit for verb production in non‐demented patients who had a performance similar to but weaker than that of the controls across the four tasks. The profile of results was different in the demented group because, apart from a global deficit whatever the task in comparison with both non‐demented and control groups, the demented patients exhibited increased difficulties in the two tasks implying verb production. The deficit of verb production observed in demented HD patients is discussed in relation to the damage to the motor loop in HD patients at later stages of disease. © 2003 Movement Disorder Societ

6. Neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle et étude de la récupération du langage dans l’aphasie

L’aphasie est observée dans environ un 1/3 des cas d’accident vasculaire cérébral dont l’incidence en France est estimée à environ 150 000 par an. L’aphasie est aussi caractérisée par une tendance spontanée à la récupération plus ou moins complète, faisant de l’aphasie vasculaire primo-lésionnelle une sorte de « modèle » pathologique chez l’Homme dans lequel le cerveau s’adapte à une lésion et certaines fonctions du langage doivent faire l’objet d’une réinstallation ou d’un ré-apprentissage. ..
