Cards

Term
Levels of analysis of language
Definition

-phonetic

-phonemic

-morphemic

-syntactic

-semantic

-pragmatic

Term
Impairments at Different Levels
Definition

Phonetic- dysarthria and Broca's

Phonemic- Wernicke's and Conductiom

Morphemic- Broca's

Grammatic- Broca's

Semantic- Extra sylvian sensory and Wernicke's

Pragmatic- extrasylvian motor

Term
Language Deviations
Definition

-Phonetic deviations

-phonemic paraphasias

-verbal paraphasias

-syntagmatic paraphasias

-circumlocutions

-anaphors

-neologisms

-jargon

-agrammatism

-paragrammatism

Term
Phonetic Deviations
Definition

a series of phonemes that are misproduced, particularly in broca's area

 

-Foreign accent in aphasia

Term
Phonological Paraphasias
Definition

Omissions: pencil-->pecil

Additions: pencil --> prencil

Displacements: pencil --> pelcin

Substitutions: pencil --> percil

Term

Verbal Paraphasia:

Formal

Definition

 

 

Formal: word is replaced by another word that looks like the targeted word phonogically but are completely different e.g. cat --> can

Term

Verbal Praphasias:

Morphemic

Definition

incorrectly assembled

e.g. summerly

-usually found in wernickes

Term

Verbal Paraphasia:

Semantic

Definition
selection of another word that IS semantically related to the target word
Term
Verbal Paraphasia:
Unrelated
Definition
word has NOTHING to do with target word...
Term

Semantic Paraphasia

Definition

-most frequent type of verbal paraphasia

 

-same semantic field like hand-> foot

-antonyms like small-->big

-superordinate words that are higher in the hierarchy such as cat--> animal

-environmental proximity: pencil-->paper

Term

Syntagmatic Paraphasias

 

Definition

substitutions appear along more complex linguistic units

 

e.g. the aquarium of the fish--> the cage of the lion

Term
Circumlocutions
Definition

replaces the word by the function

e.g. pencil--> for writing

Term
Anaphors
Definition

e.g. i took it

but the person doesnt know what "it" is

Term
Neologism
Definition

a word that we dont know where it came from, it is made up

e.g. pencil--> cartin

Term
Jargonaphasia
Definition

well articulated language outputthat lacks meaning for the listener

 e.g. target phrase "I use a pencil for writing"

Phonemic: i ute a telcin vor liting

Semantic: i throw a glass for reading

Neologistic: i tro a plas por leti

Term
Agrammatism
Definition

-one of two distinctive features of Broca's aphasia

 

-it is a disruption of the grammatical structure of the language

e.g. the child is playing in the yard--> child play yard

Term
Paragrammatism
Definition

-found in Wernicke's Aphasia

-Verbal output that violates the normative rules of morphosyntactic convention

 

1) overuse of grammatical words

2) Error in selecting grammatical words

3) Absence of defining limits of the sentences

 

e.g. The child is playing in the yard--> The, i mean one, is now on, there outside, taking something to play on that, over there

Term
Repetition
Definition

The ability to repeat represents one of the major elements in aphasia classification

 

Preserved repetition ability= extrasylvian aphasia

Impaired repetition ability= Perisylvian aphasia

Term
Naming Difficulties
Definition

-most common defect in aphasia

-all aphasic patients have impairments in naming however, specific characteristics of the naming defect can be different in different aphsia groups

Term

Anomia

(definition 1)

Definition

-naming impairment or failure

-all aphasics present with anomia even though the deficit can be manifested in different ways

Term

Anomia

(definition 2)

Definition

-difficulties in finding words associated with circumlocutions and semantic paraphasias

 

-sometimes observed in cases of temporal occipital damage

Term
Word Production Anomia
Definition

-observed in cases of frontal lesion, particularly when Broca's area, supplementary motor area and the area anterior and superior to Broca's are are involved

Term

Word Production Anomia:

 

Prefrontal Anomia

Definition

naming difficulties because of fragmentation, perservation, "extravagant paraphasia"

 

Term

Word Production Anomia:

 

Articulatory Initiation Anomia

Definition

-difficulty in initiating the word

-due to damage in the supplementary motor area

Term

Word Production Anomia:

 

Articulatory Reduction Anomia

Definition
-articulation is reduced
Term

Word Production Anomia:

 

Phonemic Disintegration Anomia

Definition
defect in naming due to a phonemic disentegration in the languge as observed in cases of Wernicke's Aphasia
Term

Word Selection Anomia

Definition

-normal linguistic function 

-repetition is normal

-comprehension is nearly normal

-language defect is observed only in naming

-due to damage in the inferior portion of the left temporal lobe

Term
Semantic Anomia
Definition

-not only does the patient fail to name objects, but also fails to identify objects when the name is presented

-this is due to damage in the parietal-occipital area and angular gyrus damage

Term
Category Specific Anomia
Definition

Elements corresponding to a specific category are more difficult to name than the elements corresponding to other categories

-color anomia

-autotopagnosia: naming body parts

-finger anomia: naming fingers

-averbia: naming actions

Term
Modality Specific Anomia
Definition

Inability to name objects when they are presented using a particular sensory modality

-the object can be recognized if presented using a different sensory modality

e.g the object cannot be named using visual perception but can be named using tactile perception (touch)
