The Case of Substitutions in Adult Aphasia and in Typical Acquisition of French: revisiting Element Theory

Typhanie Prince

Résumé

The starting point of this paper is Jakobson's proposal (1968) that a parallel can be drawn between the phonological system in acquisition and aphasia. In this paper, we discuss the evidence that the observation of this parallel between acquisition and speech pathology can help achieve a new definition of complexity for the architecture of the French phonological system. We will explore the substitution errors for place of articulations deployed by French children and adult participants with aphasia. To explain these phenomena, we argue that Element Theory (Kaye, Lowenstamm and Vergnaud (1985), Harris (1994), Harris and Lindsey (1995), Scheer (1999), Backley and Nasukawa (2008), Cyran (2010) and Backley (2011)) can provide a direct measure of complexity and markedness. For these reasons, we will investigate how data can furnish new points of view on Element Theory. Then we will explore and evaluate this theoretical framework. We conclude that substitutions result from adjustments and parameter-setting in the underlying structure of language.
