Abstract

It is emphasized that Spanish –as any other language– presents some phonological, lexical and grammatical idiosyncrasies; its writing system also has some special characteristics. These idiosyncrasies affect the specific way as acquired spoken (aphasias) and written (alexias and agraphias) language disturbances are manifested. In this paper some of these idiosyncrasies are analyzed. It is concluded that, (1) in aphasia, distribution of errors in consonants and vowels is different than reported in other languages; (2) phonological and verbal paraphasias have a specific distribution depending upon the aphasia type; (3) agrammatism in Spanish language has certain specific characteristics, probably related with its flexibility in the word order in sentences; (4) it does not seem appropriate to directly apply to Spanish the reading models developed in other languages.
