Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is: (1) to show in what mannerand to what extent the main forms of aphasia described in Luria's taxonomy coincide with forms delineated in other widely-used classifications; (2) to review Luria's aphasiological teaching, in light of more recent conceptions and models of language breakdowns; and (3) to propose a critical analysis of Luria's approach through a consideration of the six main forms of aphasia that he recognized. Luria's model encompasses the entire spectrum of language use and integrates data which issue from anatomo-physiology, psychology and linguistics. The originality of his approach also resides in his intention to relate each psycholinguistic function to a non-linguistic function, both being accomplished in the same brain area.
