摘要：It is agreed, that initial lexical access to an ambiguous word is always exhaustive, i.e. all word'smeanings are activated. Studies of access to ambiguous word's meanings after ambiguity resolutionare contradictory: it is claimed to be both exhaustive [1], as well as context-dependent [3]. Previousresearch has established that initial lexical access in non-fluent aphasia is delayed in contrast tofluent [2]. However, secondary lexical access has never been studied on participants with aphasia.The present work investigates the mechanisms of primary and secondary lexical access andambiguity resolution in aphasia.
