Abstract

The present paper aimed to analyze the lexical access in aphasic and control subjects. Data were obtained using a Naming Picture Test (SNODGRASS & VANDERWARTS, 1980). The theoretical assumptions of the Usage-based Models were adopted for data analysis in which it concerns the lexicon organization in networks based on sound and meaning similarities among the lexical items (BYBEE, 1995, 2010), assuming that failure in lexical access can be explained by the network model (BYBEE, 1995). It was also adopted the continuity hypothesis between typical and atypical population in lexical access (DELL et al., 1997). The results showed that aphasics and controls differ quantitatively, but not qualitatively, in relation to the type of responses in naming. It was also shown the importance of the variables age of acquisition and familiarity to lexical items for both studied groups and that of the token frequency of the lexical items only for the aphasics in the performance in the naming task.
