Language Impairments and their Treatments

Abstract

This study approaches one of the most important Linguistic issues. It

tackles communication which is naturally facilitated by a certain human

language that enables people to pass their knowledge and experiences, and

to express their thoughts and desires. Man is likely to have some special

capabilities to develop such a linguistic variety to cope with the great changes

taking place within human communities.

Any human language- for one reason or another, whether consciously

or subconsciously, may have some disorders that need special care from

linguistics. Remedy procedures aim to help people not only dismiss the

language difficulties they already encounter but also isolate the negative

effects that always accompany such difficulties. Besides, procedures further

patronize some assistance that enable such population to become good

members in their communities.

As mental disorders have spread out greatly, I made up my mind to

explore and diagnose this phenomenon. Therefore, aphasia will be first

defined. The physiological, psychological and social causes of aphasia will

be next identified. Certain types of aphasia such as Broca’s, and anomic

aphasia, phonological and surface dyslexia will be explained and exemplified.

The prescriptive analytical method has been followed in categorizing and

diagnosing these disorders.
