Broca aphasia

Expressive aphasia (non-fluent aphasia, also known as Broca's aphasia) is characterized by the loss of the ability to produce language (spoken or written). A person with expressive aphasia will exhibit effortful speech. Speech may only include important content words and leave out insignificant words, like "the". This is known as "telegraphic speech". The person may still be understood, but sentences will not be grammatical. Comprehension is typically only mildly to moderately impaired in expressive aphasia.
