La disabilità del dire. Afasia e dislessia

The linguistic approach to Disability is a very important one because, unfortunately, the language is bearing a disability itself: the linguistic disability called aphasia, in its pathologically heavy form and, beside that, the dyslexia, which is a less deep form of disability. Both involve directly the linguists since: a) they require directions on the rehabilitation ways and b) provide the experimental evidences of that the classical theory of language is lacking. Particularly, the aphasia suggests a not schematic linguistic dynamics, cognitively oriented and conceptually polyvalent; whereas the dyslexia comes out the unexpected operative presence of a iconic mental factor in the textual practice. Those givens can’t be leaved apart from the rehabilitation therapy, which is the indisputable corollary of the scientific research in this delicate field.
