Abstract

This thesis analyzes the neurolinguistic mechanisms underlying the production of neologisms in reading. It is a descriptive case study of a unique patient who displays a profound disassociation in grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, resulting in the production of neologisms in single word reading.
