The present research focuses on the emergence of implicit processes - inferential, contextual and multimodal - in the development of referential and interactional practices between non-aphasic and aphasic individuals who participate in the Aphasic Center. The research corpus was extracted from our data-collection AphasiAcervus. We have observed that interactants - non-aphasic and aphasic - seek to construct reference through strategic and emergent actions (HANKS, 2008) associated to language structures and to other co-occurring semiotic resources. In doing so, the interactants illustrate in an exemplar way the sociocognitive nature of reference construction not impeded by metalinguistic disorder characteristic of aphasia.
