摘要：In this work we deal with the syntax of Italian locative (and temporal) prepositions, drawing data from FM, a 54-year-old individual with Broca’s aphasia with 13 years of education. In 2004, FM sustained a left-hemisphere stroke, following an internal carotid artery dissection. His non-fluent production shows phonological and semantic paraphasias, omissions of functional words and great difficulties with verb inflections and syntactically complex structures. His comprehension is relatively preserved. Previous neuroimaging studies (e.g. Noordzij et öZ.,2008) have shown that processing of locative prepositions is associated with cerebral activity in the supramarginal gyrus located in the left parietal lobe.
