Introduction
Starting with the pioneering work of Roman lakobson and buttressed by
the more recent birth and powerful surge of cognitive science, the inter
action between linguistics, psycholinguistics, and aphasiology-sometimes
labeled neuropsycholinguistics-has without any doubt gained its letters
patent of nobility over the past two decades. Now, obviously, such a multi
disciplinary "joint venture" has its own strict requirements, in the absence
of which cognitive science would become nothing more than a "fashionable"
topic of conversation for some pseudoscholars more attached to soft science
fiction than to the hard-hopefully rigorous, verifiable, and replicable
facts of brain-mind-behavior relations.
Among such requirements, neuropsycholinguists have to place first the
necessity to keep in constant touch with the most recent advances in all the
various fields that are relevant to their broad domain of interest-easier
said than done when one considers the unavoidable limitations to be found
in a single scholar. Hence there is an obligation to (1) develop multidis
ciplinary research teams and (2) organize multidisciplinary meetings and
conferences within which specialists readily share their respective expertise
for the better understanding of aphasic patients' verbal behavior.
Such was the original idea that led us to organize two symposia
"Morphology and Aphasia" and "Phonology and Aphasia" -within
the context of the international morphology and phonology meetings set
up by Wolfgang Dressler and his colleagues (to whom we wish to express
our warmest heartfelt thanks) in Krems, Austria, during the summer of
1988.
By bringing together "hard core" linguists and neuropsycholinguists, it
was thus hoped that one would modestly but efficiently contribute to the
mutual fertilization of general linguistics-in constant need, for many of
its theoretical constructs, of external evidence that aphasiology is liable to
provide-and aphasiology, which (again) must remain constantly informed
of the current developments of linguistic theory, particularly in two fields,
