Merge of articles

Expressive aphasia should not be merged with Expressive language disorder, they are different disorders with different causes. It is a general language impairment that puts the person out of the general level for his/her age and onto the level of a younger or less linguistically developed person, is a good definition of Expressive language disorder but not for Expressive aphasia which is a medical diagnosis most uually due to stroke damage that has nothing to do with linguistic developement. Expressive aphasia is due to damage to the left front region of the brain. I wouldn't make this comment if I wasn't familiar with the subjects being a registered nurse before going into research. No, I do not think the articles should be merged, they both have merit and can stand on their own.--Dakota t e 00:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As an undergraduate student of Speech-Language Pathology, I tend to agree with the above opinion as well that the articles should not be merged. Expressive language disorder, as already mentioned, is a developmental disorder of sorts, whereas aphasia is based in the decreased function of certain neurological structures because of some form of damage. In other words, those afflicted with expressive aphasia have, more specifically, compromised function of the expressive portion of the brain, while those with expressive language disorder lack sufficient linguistic development.

"Selective expressive aphasia".

Hmmmm. The endocrinologist thinks that I might have this. I will be speaking fluently, then quite suddenly, just as I am about to say a noun, most commonly a name, it will elude me and I "can't remember it". It doesn't happen when I am "thinking" or "typing", only speaking. It happens under even the slightest stress. It occurs only for nouns, especially names. No other type of word, ever. It occurs most often for recently learnt names. Endocrino suspects it might have been caused by the chemotherapy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.161.132.237 (talk) 10:00, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction in lead paragraph

The first sentence in the introduction contradicts the last:

Expressive aphasia, also known as Broca's aphasia, is a type of aphasia characterized by partial loss of the ability to produce language (spoken, manual, or written), although comprehension generally remains intact. [...] Typically, comprehension is mildly to moderately impaired in expressive aphasia due to difficulty understanding complex grammar.

Phonetic dissolution

I tried to look up the unreferenced "Misarticulations or distortions of consonants and vowels, namely phonetic dissolution, are common." use of phonetic dissolution.

Search results either lead to this wiki page or to numerous flash card websites that want you to memorise the term without defining it. Could someone who understands the linguistics either replace the term or reference a definition please. BeardedChimp (talk) 05:16, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
