| Context |
Consequently, it is possible to have a combination of failure at lexical selection and at phonological implementation. Subsequent phonemic alteration of phonological forms associated with verbal paraphasias will easily render the target word unrecognizable because the error word would not fit the context in the first place (Buckingham 1981). A commonly noted behaviour among aphasias is that they may have more difficulty retrieving some word meanings than others. Phonological, emotive, contextual and perceptual factors can account for ease of word access, as can word frequency and grammatical influences (Lesser 1978).
