Severe oral naming disturbances (49% errors with 12% semantic paraphasias on total errors) persisted but the patient was often able to outline the written words he could not express orally. He could repeat words, letters and syllables with some phonemic difficulties. Spontaneous writing was still impossible and writing to dictation gave rise to 85% No-responses and to jargonagraphia. His reading disorder (72% error rate) resembled deep dyslexia. He could read neither nonwords (7% correct) nor letters (8%). The majority of errors in word reading were No-responses (42%); the others were semantic (12%), derivational, visual or function word substitutions. Oral reading showed the expected influence of grammatical class and concreteness.
