T1 Systemic-Functional Perspectives on Acquired Language Disorder: A Strength versus Deficit Approach
A1 Mortensen, Lynne
AB Language impairment is a commonly occurring consequence ofbrain impairment following left cerebral hemisphere stroke and traumaticbrain injury. While some recovery usually occurs, persistent communicationimpairment interferes significantly with a person’s socialfunctioning. Language rehabilitation aims to restore optimum functionalcommunication by enabling a person to recover impaired language skills,and importantly, to utilize remaining language resources. The Systemic-Functional model of language, being concerned with how language isused and language as potential resource, is a highly relevant frameworkfor language rehabilitation. This paper describes how Systemic-Functional-Linguistic theory is currently being applied to the descriptionand interpretation of acquired communication impairment in adults.
