| Abstract | Studied 6 adult Serbo-Croatian-speaking agrammatic patients on a test of inflectional morphology in which subjects judged whether spoken sentences were grammatical or ungrammatical. Sensitivity to 2 kinds of syntactic features was investigated: (1) subcategorization rules for transitive verbs (which must be followed by a noun in the accusative case) and (2) sensitivity to the inflectional morphology marking noun case. The test items consisted of 3-word sentences (noun-verb-noun) in which verb transitivity and appropriateness of the case inflection of the following noun were manipulated. Results of the grammaticality judgment task show that both syntactic properties were preserved in these subjects. |
