A quantitative production analysis of picture descriptionFootnote

I would like to express my gratitude to my tireless research assistants—Kristin Lilly, Victoria Tumanova, and Kari Norman—for their hard work; to Rita Berndt for her patience with endless questions; and to the participants and staff at the North York Aphasia Centre for their generous cooperation. I am also grateful to the American Speech‐Language‐Hearing Foundation and to Division 2 (Neurophysiology and Neurogenic Speech and Language Disorders) of the American Speech‐Language‐Hearing Association for funding to support this research.
