Telegraphic Speech
July 5th, 2019
Overview
Telegraphic speech is a type of agrammatism that involves using short sentences that include nouns and verbs but omit articles, prepositions, and adjectives.
For example, a patient might say 'man kick ball' rather than 'the man kicked the ball'.
Significance
- Telegraphic speech is classically associated with expressive (Broca's) aphasia.
