Syntax detached from semantics: Qualitative analysis of examples of verbal perseveration from a transcortical sensory aphasic patientFootnote

The language data reported on in this paper are discussed in detail in German in my unpublished PhD thesis (Stark, Citation1984). I would like to express special thanks to Karin Geisler, Leena Martin, Christiane Pons, and Heinz Karl Stark for their constructive comments and assistance on versions of this paper. I would also like to thank the reviewers of this paper for their valuable critique and suggestions.
