Aphasic subjects' syntactic-based comprehension strategies during reading were investigated. Syntactic distinctions involving tense, word order, and relativization were tested. The results were compared to those previously obtained in the auditory modality (Pierce, 1981; in press). The results indicate that aphasics apply a strategy based on a subject-verb object present tense construction during both reading and listening. Their comprehension improves when additional surface-structure markers are available to indicate the exceptions to this strategy. This is evident for tense judgments during reading and listening but only during listening for word-order judgments.

Aphasic individuals have a tendency to decode past tense and future tense sentences as if the sentences were in the present tense. This study assessed the influence of additional surface structure markers of past or future tense this comprehension process. The results indicated that additional markers significantly facilitate the comprehension of tense related sentences by aphasic subjects. Implications for sentence decoding strategies and clinical management are discussed.
