Tschirren, Muriel ; Laganaro, Marina ; Michel, Patrik ; Martory, Marie-Dominique ; Di Pietro, Marie ; Abutalebi, Jubin ; Annoni, Jean-Marie

Purpose :Bilingual aphasia generally affects both languages. However, the age of acquisition of the second language (L2) seems to play a role in the anatomo-functional correlation of the syntactical/grammatical processes, thus potentially influencing the L2 syntactic impairment following a stroke. The present study aims to analyze the influence of late age of acquisition of the L2 on syntactic...

Aphasia in bilingual patients is a therapeutic challenge since both languages can be impacted by the same lesion. Language control has been suggested to play an important role in the recovery of first (L1) and second (L2) language in bilingual aphasia following stroke. To test this hypothesis, we collected behavioral measures of language production (general aphasia evaluation and picture...

This raises complex questions such as which language is better preserved in these elderly individuals, particularly...
