Note:In this thesis, sentence comprehension disturbances in Japanese aphasics are investigated, focusing on the role of word order, thematic role order, case-markers and postpositions. Assuming the framework of Government-Binding theory (Chomsky, 1981) and the Case-theory of Japanese (Saito, 1982, 1985), three hypotheses are developed concerning language-universal and language-specific characteristics of sentence-processing mechanisms. The data from Japanese aphasics show that the sentence-processing mechanism of brain-damaged patients is not entirely determined by primitive notions such as "precedence" and "agent-of-action", and that the ease of sentence processing is determined by the thematic role order in a given sentence.
