Abstract
A subset of the tests of language ability administered by M. Dennis (1981, Brain and Language, 12, 33-53) was given to two adult acallosal patients. One of the patients studied showed widespread language deficits not restricted to the syntactic-pragmatic core as in Dennis' patient. The other showed a very specific deficit which does not encompass syntactic-pragmatic skills. The data does not support the view that the corpus callosum is necessary for the normal development of specific language functions.Entities:
