Connections between the two disciplines mentioned are considered from both a personal and a general point of view.. The personal perspective concerns the authoress' participation in a Psycholinguistic Group led by Professor Ida Kurcz, which dealt with the development of knowledge about theories and methodologies, and the results of research on language, as well as interdisciplinary studies on aphasia. The general perspective refers to the proposal to present some common interests in language of healthy people and neurological patients. At the same time, there was a curiosity to point out the primary steps in the development of observations and interpretations of the brain mechanisms of aphasia (from Egyptian papyrus to our times), and to talk about cooperation among neurologists, linguists, psycholinguists and neuropsychologists, who are interested in language and all its functions.
