Summary
Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa kondisi kebahasaan subjek berada pada tingkat yang parah, dilihat dari bagaimana tuturan dan kosakata yang dibentuk. Subjek hanya mampu mengujarkan kosakata pendek yang tidak memiliki makna. Baik penutur maupun mitra tutur sama-sama tidak mampu membentuk komunikasi yang dapat dipahami maksud dan maknanya. Dapat dilihat pada tuturan di atas bahwa mitra tutur C baru dapat memahami maksud tuturan dari SP setelah melihat gestur SP berupa menggeleng dan kemudian dikonfirmasi ulang oleh C. Selain ujaran berupa bunyi tak bermakna, SP juga mulai memiliki beberapa kosakata terbatas yang didapatkan melalui proses rehabilitasi. Beberapa kosakata tambahan yang dikuasai oleh SP dapat dilihat pada tabel 1. Berdasarkan tabel hasil temuan di atas, bentuk tuturan yang diujarkan oleh SP dibagi menjadi dua macam, yaitu bunyi dan kata. Kedua macam tuturan dari SP dapat dilihat pada tabel 2
