Damage to the frontal lobes, particularly on the left, will impair language capacity. This chapter reviews language impairment at four discrete, although overlapping, levels of clinical phenomena: (1) transcortical motor aphasia (TCMA), the classical aphasic syndrome of left posterior frontal injury; (2) dynamic aphasia, which is the core impairment of (TCMA) and a disturbance of complex, open—ended sentence assembly; (3) discourse impairments, which are disturbances in the assembly of complex narratives; and (4) disrupted action planning, the fundamental impairment of complex, goal-directed, intentional behavior. Dynamic aphasia and discourse impairment should be seen as action planning deficits specific to language use.
Keywords: frontal lobes, language capacity, language impairment, transcortical motor aphasia, dynamic aphasia, discourse impairments, disrupted action planning, brain
