Abstract
Need: Pragmatic skills enable a person to use language socially. Any impairment in these skills can challenge the communication, which may be noticed in persons with brain damage.
Aim: To analyze the pragmatic impairment in individuals with subcortical aphasia.
Materials and Method: 30 participants with subcortical aphasia were selected. A custom made protocol in Malayalam was developed for the purpose of our study. The pragmatic skills of the selected participants were assessed and analyzed by the said protocol.
Results and Discussion: Participants exhibited marked impairments in all selected domains such as Topic, Purpose, abstraction & visual/gestural cues. The most significantly affected domain was Abstraction and Topic was the domain that was least affected.
