		       APHASIA PROJECT MEETING
	      The Cerebral Organization of Word Meaning
			  Tatyana Glezerman
		     Tuesday, 12 June, 2:30 p.m.
			     Cordura 100

I will discuss a new model of the cerebral organization of word
meaning.  This model is based on taking into consideration three
factors of brain cortex differentiation:

(1) "vertical"-symbolic language and gnostic-praxic functional levels;

(2) the "horizontal"-system "interior-posterior brain";

(3) the functional asymmetry-system "left-right brain."

We distinguish two companions of word meaning.  The first companion is
connected with visual gnoses while the second one is connected with
categorical thinking.  The hemispheric symbolic associations related
to the word will also be considered.

I will give examples used with aphasia patents, as well as examples
from the historical language development.

This will be the last aphasia project meeting of the academic year,
and it is open to the public.
