Wernicke’s Aphasia

Wernicke’s aphasia significantly affects an individual’s ability to comprehend and produce meaningful language. In a way, the website is both the speaker and the listener: frustrated and confused, yet fluent. View the site here.

The cause of this can be attributed to paraphasia errors, like a word that rhymes with the original word or mixing one syllable (“morning” and “boring,” “cat” and “hat”) or substituting words with other adjacent words (“car” and “tires”). It results in a sentence that sounds vaguely comprehensible, but are not.
