Abstract
Agrammatism is a language disorder (i.e. a syntactic one) that has attracted neurolinguists’ and language-speech therapists’ attention in recent year. There are different approaches to this problem. Many researchers consider agrammatism to be a psychological or motor disorder rather than a linguistic one. However, the purpose of this article is to introduce agrammatism from a linguistic point of view, and to analyze and describe the disorders that agrammatic patients show in comprehending different syntactic structures, especially those containing anaphoric expressions (specifically reflexive pronouns) and Pronominals.
