El habla reportada en el discurso de hablantes con afasia sensorial: sus propiedades formales y funcionales

espanolLa afasia sensorial es un trastorno del lenguaje provocado por un dano neurologico en el lobulo temporal del hemisferio izquierdo, donde se ven alteradas todas las formas del lenguaje expresivo. Tradicionalmente, se ha sostenido que estos hablantes retienen la habilidad para comunicarse explotando aquellos recursos que conservan a pesar de la patologia. Entre estos recursos se encuentra el habla reportada, que ha sido descrita como una herramienta que les permite a los hablantes afasicos enriquecer sus narraciones e involucrar a sus interlocutores en ellas; sin embargo, aun no contamos con investigaciones centradas en este fenomeno en pacientes hispanohablantes. Por lo anterior, en este trabajo planteamos dos objetivos: (i) analizar si el uso de habla reportada se mantiene en hispanohablantes con afasia sensorial y, de ser el caso, (ii) caracterizar sus propiedades estructurales y funcionales en la produccion por parte de estos pacientes. Participaron tres hablantes con afasia sensorial: dos con etiologia vascular y uno con etiologia tumoral. Todos fueron evaluados empleando el Test de Boston para el diagnostico de la afasia. Se observo que los pacientes conservan el uso del habla reportada, respetando sus rasgos formales y cumpliendo funciones especificas de compensacion e intensificacion. Lo anterior sugiere que los pacientes con afasia sensorial son sensibles al deficit que padecen y buscan subsanarlo explotando los recursos que mantienen EnglishSensory aphasia is a language disorder produced by a neurological damage in left hemisphere's temporal lobe, where it is altered all expressive language form. Frequently, it has been argued that these patients are able to communicate exploiting those resources which they keep even though pathology. These resources include reported speech, which it has been described as a tool that enables it to aphasics enrich his / her narratives to involve his / her interlocutors in it; however, there is still no research focused on this phenomenon in Spanish speakers patients. Thus, in this paper we have two goals: (i) to analyze if our patients keep ability to use reported speech in his / her narrations and, if this is the case, (ii) characterizer its formal and functional properties. Our sample is composed of three patients with sensory aphasia, two with vascular etiology and one with tumor etiology. All three were evaluated using Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination. It was found that all patients are able to use reported speech, according to their formal features and they use it for accomplish specific functions of compensation and intensification. This suggests that patients with sensory aphasia are aware of their linguistic deficits and thus try to exploit the communicative tools that they keep
