Jargon aphasia

Jargon aphasia (JA) is an acquired language disorder in the comprehension and use of words, in which patients use incorrect words or sounds in place of intended words. The speech jargon in JA can be (a) paraphasic—grammatically intact with the inclusion of misused, semantically related words; (b) asemantic—intact speech with the inclusion of nonsense words, or neologisms; and (c) phonemic, a stream of nonsense syllables. Given the intact ability to produce speech, JA is considered a form of fluent aphasia.


Communication that results in the use of j argon or disconnected words.


Jargon aphasia is a type of language skill impairment where the individual struggles to construct grammatically correct sentences and instead speaks in disordered phrases filled with jumbled words or fabricated terms (neologisms). It can result from damage to the dominant temporal lobe of the brain, and in rare instances, it could indicate schizophrenia.
