Aphasia

Показать описание

What happens when we lose our ability to use language? What difficulties do we run into when studying language loss? In this week's episode, we look at aphasia, and particularly Broca's aphasia: what symptoms occur, why it's hard to make sweeping generalizations about what to expect, and what aphasia can tell us about how language works.

This is Topic #24!

This week's tag language: Brazilian Portuguese!

We also have forums to discuss this episode, and linguistics more generally.

Looking forward to next week!

I've seen so many videos from LingSpace but this is the first one i've seen that Moti says goodbye in Portuguese! I'm brazilian and wasn't expecting that, it was so cool! ahhaha

Great videos, guys! This channel is excellent. :)

Hello! Thank you so much for this episode (I was really expecting it) and for all the great content you provide us all with. As a high school student who is very enthusiastic about languages and linguistics, this is definitely one of the best resources I've come across. One little thing: the link for the extra materials isn't working. Hope you can fix that soon!

I just gave a presentation on neurodiversity and one of the sections was about how there is no normal brain. I like the way you explain it!

You explained everything so well! It would also help second language learners like me if there's an english subtitle. :)

Thank you. I have aphasia and don’t want to talk. It’s so hard to get my feeling out. My words don’t come out. It’s lonely.

Anybody who is interested in recovery from aphasia, you should find out more about speech-language pathology. Speech-language pathologists help people with language disorders, and are key to helping people with aphasia recover. See more at www.asha.org!

So, does this mean that if s student is diagnosed with an expressive language problem, separate from a receptive language problem, is it Broca's area as well? Or again, is this question not really linguistics?
