This study was designed to investigate whether aphasics use the case strategy in the NP (Noun Phrase) +V (Verb) sentence comprehension task. The subjects were 27 aphasics. The stimulus sentences were NP+NP+V active and passive sentences that had the basic and also the reverse word order, and NP+V active and passive sentences that had only an agent or an object. The subjects listened to the NP+NP+V sentences and the NP+V sentences and were required to point to the correct pictures. The major findings were as follows: 1) All aphasic subjects except one did not use the case strategy. 2) Most subjects who could not use the word order strategy in NP+NP+V sentences could understand one kind of NP+V sentence (active voice: four out of fives ubjects; passive voice: eleven out of fifteen subjects) . 3) Most subjects who could not use the particle strategy in NP+NP+V sentences could understand two kinds of NP+V sentence (active voice: three out of five subjects; passive voice: five out of six subjects) . These results suggested that it was necessary to divide the particle strategy into two levels of difficulty, the NP+NP+V sentence level and the NP+V sentence level.
