A further study of language function in callosal agenesis

A subset of the tests of language ability administered by M. Dennis (1981, Brain and Language,, 12, 33–53) was given to two adult acallosal patients. One of the patients studied showed widespread language deficits not restricted to the syntactic-pragmatic core as in Dennis' patient. The other s...

Zusammenfassung:	A subset of the tests of language ability administered by M. Dennis (1981, Brain and Language,, 12, 33–53) was given to two adult acallosal patients. One of the patients studied showed widespread language deficits not restricted to the syntactic-pragmatic core as in Dennis' patient. The other showed a very specific deficit which does not encompass syntactic-pragmatic skills. The data does not support the view that the corpus callosum is necessary for the normal development of specific language functions.
