mes "painfully slow, and laborious."(p.147) Naturally, the ordinary rhythm of speech is destroyed, as well as it's intonation. Most striking, is there is no use of grammar. Unable to construct grammatical sentences, losing words like of, to, the, if, and or, as well as losing the grammatical making on words, such as plurals, past tenses the ing that goes on verb forms. Broca's aphasics can hardly produce any verbs, articulation is poor, and their pronunciation is slurred and sometimes hard to interpret. Below is an example of someone with Broca's aphasia:
             Yes-ah-Monday ah -Dad-and Dad-ah-hospital-and ah-Wednesday- Wednesday- nine o'clock and h Thursday- ten o'clock ah doctors- two-two-ah doctors and -ah- teeth --yah. And a doctor-ah girl-and gums, and I. (p.147)
             Broca's patients usually make a reasonable amount of sense , and often understand what is said to them, except they have trouble with grammatically complex sentences like " The boy who was kissed by the girl cried."(p.147) They can usually read, but they have great difficulty reading regular inflected forms like dogs and wanted, and cope better with irregular inflections like children and took. Further more, Broca's aphasic are painfully aware that they are having difficulty in speaking. Which explains their eager response to treatment, though they can hardly ever be cured.
             A second type of aphasia identified by German investigator Carl Wernicke in 1874, is known as Wernicke's aphasia. The speech of Wernicke's aphasics is very rapid and fluent, and often comes out in a "breathless rush". (p.148) In this case rhythm and intonation are fairly normal, and most of the ordinary grammatical structure is intact. By paying close attention one will find Wernicke's aphasics, is that they make no sense. There may be short sequences tat make sense in isolation, but these are strung together i...
