Gestikulace v komunikaci osob s diagnostikovanou afázií

This monograph deals with the non-verbal components of speech and by means of experiments with persons diagnosed with aphasia, it attempts to show how gestures are used as a substitute for speech, which is often impossible to use for communication due to the varying degrees of damage. The main part of the book is dedicated to the results of research into the compensation of speech deficiencies by use of gestures. The text offers instructions on how to describe such constructs, and touches on the issue of transcription and notation of speech devices and gestures as well.
