Fluent speech, except for pauses that may occur as the patient experiences word-finding difficulty. Broca's aphasia is usually seen following damage to the posterior inferior frontal lobe, obviously called Broca's area. Speech is nonfluent, labored, and halting. Intonation and stress patterns are deficient, and misarticulations are prominent. Broca's speech is often telegraphic and agrammatical.
Oral reading is also poor, but auditory comprehension is good.
I believe it does. The term applies to those whose major symptom is word retrieval difficulties in spontaneous speech and naming tasks. The spontaneous speech of anomic aphasics is fluent and grammatically correct, but is marked by word retrieval failures. Lesions in areas 20 and 21 causes the inability to retrieve both proper and common nouns. I have also read that the angular gyrus may be affected with anomia.
