Home > Expressive aphasia

Expressive aphasia is an aphasia caused by damage to Broca's area in the brain; it is also known as Broca's aphasia.

For sufferers of this form of aphasia, speech is difficult to initiate, nonfluent, labored, and halting. Intonation and stress patterns are deficient. Language is reduced to disjointed words and sentence construction is poor; a person with expressive aphasia might say "Son ... University ... Smart ... Boy ... Good ... Good ... "

Comprehension is usually preserved and patients who recover go on to say that they knew what they wanted to say but could not express themselves.
