Abstract: In any speech therapy intervention, assessment is the first step in the rehabilitation of people with aphasia. Although results are generally obtained by providing standardized tests, these can give speech therapy professionals a reduced view of the users' communicative abilities, since they are devoid of context and communicative intent (Rodriguez-Riaño & Lizarzo-Camacho, 2015). Functional language assessment, on the other hand, takes a more ecological view and gives value to the communicative exchanges that take place in the everyday life of aphasic users. It is through conversation that people communicate in their daily lives and where they must learn to manage language deficits (Terradillos & Sage, 2016). Therefore, it is significant to assess to what extent speakers with aphasia can develop in a natural context with communicative functionality. Given the lack of scientific literature in the practical field in functional communication to people with aphasia (Rosseaux et al., 2010; Moreno, 2021), the present work proposes the evaluation of language use, that is, of the pragmatic skills of a case using the Pragmatic Evaluation Protocol - Revised (PREP-R) (Fernández-Urquiza et al., 2015), in a version translated into Catalan. The study investigates from a practical aspect the potential of including the functional perspective of language in the assessment of aphasia. The results have allowed the elaboration of a communicative profile of the aphasic speaker, providing valuable information for the approach of a speech therapy intervention adapted to the real communicative needs of the patient.
