| Abstract: | This study investigates the comprehension ofwh-questions in individuals with aphasia (IWA) speaking Turkish, a non-wh-movement language, and German, awh-movement language. We examined six German-speaking and 11 Turkish-speaking IWA using picture-pointing tasks. Findings from our experiments show that the Turkish IWA responded more accurately to both objectwhoand objectwhichquestions than to subject questions, while the German IWA performed better for subjectwhichquestions than in all other conditions. Using random forest models, a machine learning technique used in tree-structured classification, on the individual data revealed that both the Turkish and German IWA’s response accuracy is largely predicted by the presence of overt and unambiguous case marking. We discuss our results with regard to different theoretical approaches to the comprehension ofwh-questions in aphasia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
