10 Aphasia Symptoms
Symptom #6: Paraphasia
Paraphasia refers to a type of language where there is output error that is usually associated with aphasia. It is characterized by the production of unintended phrases, syllables, and words while trying to speak.
Paraphasic errors are most commonly seen among patients with fluent aphasia. Paraphasia can be divided into neologistic paraphasia, phonemic paraphasia, perseverative paraphasia, and verbal paraphasia. In patients with aphasia, paraphasia can be seen when affected individuals start to substitute words, letters, and syllables.
