Abstract

Vücudun hareket yetisini etkileyen Parkinson hastalarında dildeki hareket içeren ifadelerin işlemlenmesinde de bozulmalar olduğu alanyazında pek çok çalışma ile ortaya konulmuştur. Ancak imgesel bağlamlarda (deyim, metafor) sunulan hareket bilgisinin çözümlenmesine ilişkin bulgular tartışmalıdır. Bu araştırmada farklı deyim türleri (opak ve saydam) ve düz anlam bağlamlarında sunulan hareket bilgisinin, motor sistemin bozulduğu Parkinson hastalarında nasıl çözümlendiği, motor sistemdeki bozuklukların hangi dilsel bağlamlar içinde sunulan hareket bilgisini daha çok etkilediği sorgulanmıştır. Araştırmada anadili Türkçe olan 10 Parkinson tanılı ve 10 nörotipik bireyin, motor eylem içeren ve içermeyen deyimsel ve düz anlamlı dilsel ifadeleri işlemleme performansları karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularında, hareket bilgisinin olmadığı durumda deyim koşulları arasında fark gözlenirken, hareket bilgisinin dahil olduğu deyim bağlamındaki tümcelerde deyim türleri arasındaki fark ortadan kaybolmuştur. Bu bulgular, Parkinson hastalarının dildeki hareket bilgisini işleme süreçlerindeki genel zorluğu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, Parkinson hastalarında motor sistemin dildeki bağlam bilgisini işlemleme süreçlerinde oynadığı rolü de ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, Parkinson hastalarında dopaminerjik eksikliklerin hem motor hem de dilsel süreçlerdeki etkilerine ışık tutarken, motor sistem ile dilsel bağlamlar arasındaki ilişkilerin daha geniş kapsamlı incelenmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

Abstract

Current literature suggests that individuals with Parkinson’s disease often encounter difficulties in processing verbs and sentences that involve action verbs. However, findings regarding how action-related information is processed in figurative contexts (e.g., idioms, metaphors) remain inconsistent. This study examines how action information embedded in various idiom types (opaque and transparent) and literal contexts is processed by individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The processing performance of 10 native Turkish-speaking individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and 10 neurotypical individuals was compared for figurative and literal language expressions, both including and excluding action verbs. The results revealed that in the absence of action information, differences emerged between idiom types. However, when action information was preserved within idiom contexts, these differences disappeared. These findings highlight the significant challenges faced by Parkinson’s patients in processing action-related information in language. Furthermore, the study underscores the critical role of the motor system in processing contextual information in language, particularly in contexts involving action, which proved more demanding for these patients. By shedding light on the impact of dopaminergic deficiencies on both motor and linguistic processes in Parkinson’s disease, this research emphasizes the need for further in-depth studies on the interplay between the motor system and linguistic contexts.
