4. Leaving Out Articles and Pronouns When Speaking
People with Broca’s Aphasia often leave out certain words. In many cases, it’s smaller words that may not seem or sound significant in the sentence. Articles and pronouns are the most common. People may continue to say a person’s name instead of saying he or she in its place. They may also say or write sentences without any articles. This can make it hard to determine the meaning of a sentence or make sense of it at all.
Most people with the condition think that this sounds normal and they don’t attempt to correct the issue because they don’t see the need for it. Their brains process the information to sound correct. Some people may also pause when there should be a pronoun or article.
The condition can also make it, so they only leave out specific pronouns or articles. They may use some of them and not realize they aren’t using the others.
