Do people with agrammatic aphasia understand verb movement?Footnote

The research was supported by a research grant from the National Institute for Psychobiology in Israel (Friedmann 2004‐5‐2b), and by the Joint German–Israeli Research Program grant (Friedmann GR‐01791). Many thanks to Ronit Szterman for her participation in the development of this experiment and to Esther Ruigendijk for her helpful comments.
