摘要:The Northwestern Assessment of Verb and Sentences (NAVS; Thompson,2011) is a test batterythat includes five tests aimed at assessing production and comprehension of verbs with differentargument structure (AS) complexity and sentences with canonical/non-canonical order (i.e., active,passive, subject and object wh-questions, and subject and object-relative structures). Both AScomplexity and syntactic movement affect the performance of aphasic patients, particularly thosewith agrammatism, in both English (Thompson,2003; Dickey et al.,2007) and Italian (Luzzatti etal.,2001, 2002; Barbieri et al., 2010). The present study reports preliminary data derived from anItalian version of the NAVS.
