Significant contrasts are bolded. lvPPA=logopenic variant, nfavPPA=non-fluent/agrammatic variant, svPPA=semantic variant. T-tests for targeted morphemes violated the equality of variances assumption (Levene’s Test for Equality of Variances) in all cases. Thus, reported statistics for morphemes are adjusted based on the (Cochran & Cox, 1957) adjustment of the standard error and the (Satterthwaite, 1946) adjustment of the degrees of freedom.
