The most pronounced feature of expressive aphasia is telegraphic speech, or agrammatism, in which the speaker produces utterances that are grammatically incomplete.
Also called Broca’s aphasia, because brain damage is localized to Broca’s area in the frontal lobe of the language-dominant hemisphere (typically the left lobe). See also Broca’s Aphasia, Aphasia, specific symptoms./td> |
