Description The purpose of  this study was to assess both the theoretical and clinical value of  markedness theory in phonological impairment in aphasia. A markedness analysis was carried out on initial consonant clusters in a single aphasic adult, at two points during the spontaneous recovery phase. Results revealed systematic, rule-governed behaviour, reflecting  similar linguistic trends, in terms of  natural segments and natural processes, on both testing occasions. Some inadequacies of  the distinctive feature  approach are discussed. The findings  of  this study suggest that a markedness analysis may be extremely useful  for  the analysis and treatment of  phonological disorders in aphasia.
