“…So, some individuals produce neologistic jargon, with nonword errors (e.g., Graham et al, 2001), while others produce mainly semantic jargon (e.g., Marshall et al, 1996aMarshall et al, , 1996b. A pattern of evolution has also been described which mirrors that described in speech, where nonword production gradually gives way to real, but anomalously selected, words (Simmons & Buckingham, 1992). …”

“…Numerous studies of jargon aphasia observe that the individuals involved seemed to be unaware of the extent of their speech disorder (e.g., Alajouanine, 1956;Butterworth, 1979;Cappa et al, 1994;Marshall et al, 1996a;Cohen et al, 1997;Hanlon & Edmondson, 1996;Hillis et al, 1999;Kertesz & Benson, 1970;Panzeri et al, 1987;Rochford, 1974;Robson et al, 2003;Simmons & Buckingham, 1992;Weinstein, Lyerly, Cole, & Ozer, 1966). Often the evidence is rather anecdotal.…”

“…Longitudinal data offer further evidence. These have shown that, with recovery, nonwords tend to be replaced with empty, anomic speech (Green, 1969;Kertesz & Benson, 1970, Panzeri, Semenza, & Butterworth, 1987 or more real word errors (Simmons & Buckingham, 1992). One interpretation is that the production of nonwords is a response to an anomic difficulty, a response that changes over time.…”

Background: Jargon aphasia is one of the most puzzling and clinically intractable forms of aphasia. It challenges us to think not only about the loss of normal language but also about the apparent acquisition of a strange and novel form of production. Aims: This paper aims to review the literature about jargon aphasia in order to provide an overview of our current knowledge of the condition. Main Contribution: The paper will cover five themes: nonword production, monitoring in jargon aphasia, writing in jargon aphasia, semantic jargon, and syntax in jargon aphasia. It attempts to review and appraise some of the key explanations for the phenomena of jargon. Conclusions: It is acknowledged that many of the questions posed by jargon aphasia remain unresolved. Nevertheless, some tentative explanations for the production of jargon are proposed.

“…To date, however, no report has addressed this issue or described temporal changes in patients with semantic jargon. As Simmons and Buckingham (1992) suggested, describing temporal changes in patients with aphasia is useful when investigating the mechanisms underlying this disease state.…”

Attentional dysfunction and word-finding difficulties are related to semantic jargon after a thalamic lesion: a case report

Background: Although many case reports on neologistic jargon have been documented, reports on semantic jargon are extremely rare, suggesting that semantic jargon may occur more rarely than neologistic jargon. Aims: To investigate potential mechanisms underlying semantic jargon. Methods & Procedures:We describe a patient who presented with semantic jargon after a left thalamic hemorrhage that mainly affected the pulvinar, lateral posterior nucleus, centromedian nucleus, and reticular nucleus. She was followed for 8 years, during which the temporal changes in her linguistic and neuropsychological functions were investigated. Outcomes & Results: The patient's semantic jargon disappeared and selective attention improved in parallel. Word-finding deficits remained at the end of the observation period. Conclusions: Our observations of this patient suggest that a thalamic lesion can cause attentional and linguistic dysfunction that does not activate an intended word and its images and, conversely, fails to inactivate non-relevant words and associated images, resulting in semantic jargon.
