This theoretical analysis highlights discourse measures for aphasia in various languages, suggesting a need for clearer definitions.
Background Production-based discourse assessment is an ecologically valid approach for investigating whether PWA have efficient verbal communication skills despite language impairments. A substantial body of research has focused on macro- and micro-linguistic discourse analyses in various languages, predominantly in English, and across different discourse domains, including productivity, informational content, and morphosyntactic elaboration. Besides, cross-linguistic studies have significantly advanced our understanding of aphasia by examining how language-specific structural properties influence the manifestation of linguistic deficits.
