LEON KACZMAREK’S THEORY OF SPEECH AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR CONTEMPORARY NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2014, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Leon Kaczmarek is the founder of modern logopaedics in Poland. His ideas have proved to be not only innovative but they are in agreement with contemporary outlooks within this branch of research and practice as well as with modern neuropsychology. He based his approach upon the theory of linguistic communication, which he presented in models. He also proposed an innovative classification of the signs and components of utterances (texts). All the above mentioned theoretical constructs enabled him to present a careful and precise analysis of language acquisition and its disorders both at the level of the peripheral and central nervous system. It has also proved to be very helpful in the assessment as well as the therapy of patients with various speech disorders observed not only in children but also in adults. His ideas were further developed by his collaborator and disciples. The best known are the models developed by B. Kaczmarek and M. Pachalska that are used in neurolinguistic and neuropsychological theory and clinical practice. Hence, it is those models that are also described in the present paper.
