A commonly used scheme includes Broca's, Wernicke's, conduction, global, transcortical (motor, sensory and mixed) and anomic. A key distinguishing feature is fluency. Nonfluent speech is laborious, with single words, short phrases, pauses and hesitation. In severe aphasia, the patient may be unable to utter a single word or endlessly repeat a monophasia. Aphasia is a disorder of language, as opposed to dysarthria, which is a disorder involving the mechanics of speech production.
Broca’s aphasia (expressive, motor or anterior) aphasia is a nonfluent type of aphasia due to a -lesion involving the anterior perisylvian speech areas in the posterior inferior frontal region. Patients have labored, uninflected, nonfluent spontaneous speech with a decreased amount of linguistic output: few words, short ¬sentences, and poor grammar. In severe Broca’s aphasia, the speech consists of nouns and substantive verbs produced with great effort. There is a tendency to leave out nonessential words such as adjectives, adverbs, and functor words (telegraphic speech). Speech comprehension is relatively unimpaired.
