Spójnik jako jeden z wyznaczników kohezji w dyskursie zaburzonym u osób z afazją
Conjunction as a cohesive device in the disturbed discourse of people with aphasia

Summary/Abstract: Aphasia is a speech disorder that significantly affects the social func􏰸oning of people who have suffered a stroke. Although there is an increase in linguis􏰸c research on discourse, there is also an observable shortage of studies concerning cohesion and coherence in mixed aphasia in the Polish context. One of the determinants of cohesion is the conjunc􏰸on, which was analysed in the u􏰺erances in the presented research. Among other things, a more frequent use of conjunc􏰸ons was observed in the control group, and, by contrast, conjunc􏰸ons were the rarest in those with mixed aphasia with a motor component. The study showed that pa􏰸ents with mixed aphasia with a sensory component used more conjunc􏰸ons indica􏰸ng purpose and cause-and- effect rela􏰸onship, which may indicate a􏰺empts to form subordinate sentences and a desire to con􏰸nue speaking. Research indicates the need to enrich therapeu􏰸c ac􏰸vi􏰸es in exercises that develop the skill of using conjunc􏰸ons properly in u􏰺erances.
