SPEECH DISORDERS


I've just read it from an article,, about the speech disorders,,
I found this good to learn..

"There's many possible types of speech disorders, and
aphasia is the generic term used to refer to speech disorders as a whole, Though aphasia literally means "without speech", it often is used in reference to the disorder suffered by people whose speech is problematic.

Two of the many possible types of aphasia are the board and contrasting categories of agrammatism and fluent aphasia.

agrammatism is the technical term for one of aphasic condition in which people have difficulty stringing words together in sentences. It's called agrammatism because it's apparently speech without grammar. Someone suffering from agrammatism might, for example, respond to a question about weekend plans by saying "Satuday, er, ... uh, ... flight.. no... uh, .. sunday... leave.. airport ...". It's important to note that someone with this condition can generally understand what others say quite well but has difficulty responding in a fluent and grammatical way, this can result from damage to an area of the brain in front of and above the left ear.

Fluent aphasia is a very different type of aphasic condition. As the same indicates, a person who suffers from fluent aphasia can speak quite fluently but tends not to make much sense when speaking. A fluent aphasic may make up words and phrases together in meaningless gibberish as in "I focalized, you deny it, after all, I expect happenings, however, not at all important, on my hemmer." This can result from damage to an area in the back of the brain and under the left ear. "

I found this study of aphasia -aphasiology- quite interesting. But I don't have any desire to know it more. hehe. =P I'm a lazy girl, aren't I? But still, It's good to know this,,
