    Discourse characteristics of Creole-speaking Mauritian adults with mild to moderate aphasia
    (2002) Nabeemeeah, Kauthar; Ogilvy-Foreman, Dale
    With the shift away from evaluation of isolated aspects of linguistic performance, discourse assessment has become an important tool in assessing the communication competence of individuals following a neurological insult. The present research investigates the effects of mild to moderate aphasia on the dscourse performance of Creole speaking Mauritians. A control group was included so as to differentiate aspects of discourse from normal to pathological and with a view to discerning compensatory strategies of adults with aphasia in discourse.
