Broca and Werniches aphasia
Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasias suggest s obvious organization of language in the brain through the Standard model. Individual aphasics in practice exhibit a wide variety of symptoms, and research has revealed that language areas are not located strictly in their prescribed areas as mentioned earlier, but are modular, often some distance away, or even branched out in some cases. Their work also suggests that the language faculties are largely independent of other, non-linguistic functions of the brain. Brain damage and the effects of brain damage are highly unpredictable, and one of the common results is the disruption of the victim’s ability to use language. Disordered language resulting from brain damage has usually been called aphasia. Though since this term means literally “absence of speech”, and since few if any lose their linguistic ability entirely, many neurologists now prefer the term dysphasia which mean “disordered speech”. However for the purpose of this essay , it will be referred to as aphasia. In the first half of the nineteenth century several researchers independently noticed that a number of brain-damaged patients had strikingly similar diso
