This article claims that agrammatism is linked with jargon aphasia, which is news to me. As I understood it, jargon was much more common in syndromes like Wernicke's aphasia, whereas agrammatism usually refers to cases like Broca's aphasia. The reference provided describes a patient with jargon aphasia, but doesn't seem to mention agrammatism. Moreover, the jargon aphasia article claims that "speech is fluent and effortless with intact syntax and grammar," which is not agrammatism at all. I'm tempted to remove the claim, but I'm by no means an expert on this topic. Thoughts? Masily box 00:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Masily box. Agrammatism is different than phonological access problem that exists in the jargon aphasia case cited. I am very much tempted to omit this part. Does anyone disagree?
