Abstract
This paper reports a therapy process for an agrammatic patient with apparent telegraphic speech caused by a large infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere. Therapy aimed at improving his telegraphic speech was initiated 11 months after the onset for a period of 4 years and 5 months. In the first period, training of insertion of postpositional particles was given. Then, in order to reduce omissions and replacement errors, training of predicate parts was commenced, which was analyzed in detail in this study. This training included verb inflection, inserting auxiliary verbs, and inserting verb phrases in explaining 4-frame comic strips. As a results, the patient acquired the ability to use conjugations and his ability to recall and select auxiliary verbs. He also demonstrated some improvement in inserting verb phrases.
