discourse and hashave not shown significant evidence for maintenance (Kiran & Bassetto 2008). Another approach used in therapy is the use of verbs. Verbs are central to syntax, semantics and event memory.

‘function words’ which means “a word that doesn’t belong to one of the four major parts of speech in English (noun, verb, adjective, adverb). “Their purpose is not only to express meaning but to relate other words to each other” (Hornby, 1975:7).
