It results in the inability to comprehend speech directly. Speech can still be produced, and is generally grammatically understandable; however, the types of sentences produced are generally nonsensical and irrelevant to the input received.
For example:
When asked: "What does 'two birds with one stone' mean?"
a patient might respond something to the gist of:
"It being probable, and going swoosh and successful. I know I cannot think of this word, but it maybe is starting with a /g/ or a /k/ and goes something like it is probably. Not going to train to catch and I think it is not being successful in acquiring subjects."
As you can see-- the vocabulary retained is quite impressive; however its usage and comprehension tends to be rather fragmented, inconsistent, and inappropriate. Also, on a sentence level it is clear that patients suffering from Wernicke's aphasia have as much trouble comprehending basic speech as they do producing it, leading to inconsistent conversations that generally climb "down the rabbit hole."
This is a condition where you cannot understand language in its written or spoken form. Even though the person can speak with normal grammar, syntax, rate, and intonation, they cannot express themselves meaningfully with that language. Wernicke's aphasia is also called receptive aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia.
Aphasia - instrumental - was created in 1983.
The inability to speak can be termed aphasia or aphonia depending on the circumstances.
onset of aphasia is usually abrupt, and occurs in individuals who have had no previous speech or language problems. Aphasia is at its most severe immediately after the event that causes it.
Multilingual aphasia is a type of aphasia where someone often misspeaks by saying something in her/his native language that is semantically similar to what the person intended to say. People with this type of aphasia do not necessarily misspeak as often in languages that are foreign to them as they do in their native language. This type of aphasia is probably caused by learning and/or acquiring too many foreign languages. Multilingual aphasia is contrasted with mathematician's aphasia, wherein a person says the exact opposite of what she/he intended to say. Mathematician's aphasia is probably caused by being good at math and/or studying math. Neither of these types of aphasia are caused by physiological damage to the language-processing hemisphere of the brain, in contrast to the two main types of aphasia and to most miscellaneous types.
The cast of Aphasia - 2014 includes: Jambareeqi
Confusion, ataxia (imbalance) and nystagmus (rapid eye jerks).
Christian Wernicke has written: 'Christian Wernickes epigramme'
