“…An important drawback in the analysis of these cases is that only a few patients have been studied in some detail. Furthermore, there are cases that were included in large series of aphasic patients and detailed information on language performance was not provided (Heiss et al, 1999;Willmes & Poeck, 1993), whereas other cases, though comprehensively investigated, showed either a posterior extension of the frontal lesion (Berndt et al, 1987;Dogil et al, 1995;Reinvang, 1987;Roebroek et al, 1999;Sasanuma and Monoi, 1975;Selnes et al, 1982;Zahn et al, 1999) or additional lesions in the deep grey nuclei (Papagno & Basso, 1996) which readily account for some deficits that a priori could be regarded as atypical (e.g. auditory comprehension impairment).…”

“…Crossed TSA has also been reported (e.g., Roebroek, Promes, Korten, Lormans, & van der Laan, 1999). Some similarities between so-called ''thalamic aphasia'' and TSA have been suggested (e.g., Cappa & Vignolo, 1979).…”

Background: Different classifications of aphasic disorders have been proposed over the years. During recent decades new approaches to aphasia study have been developed, suggesting that current aphasia classifications can and should be reconsidered. Aims: The purpose of this paper is to attempt to integrate contemporary knowledge about brain organisation of language and to propose a new aphasia classification. Main Contribution: It is emphasised that there are two fundamental forms of aphasia, which are linked to impairments in the lexical/semantic and grammatical systems of language (Wernicke-type aphasia and Broca-type aphasia, respectively). Grammar correlates with the ability to represent actions (verbs) and depends on what is known as Broca's area and its related brain circuits, but it is also related to the ability to quickly carry out the sequencing of articulatory movements required for speaking (speech praxis). Lexical/semantic and grammatical systems not only depend on different brain circuitries, but also on different types of memory and learning (declarative and procedural). Other aphasic syndromes do not really impair language knowledge per se, but rather peripheral mechanisms required to produce language (conduction aphasia and aphasia of the supplementary motor area), or the executive control of the language (extra-Sylvian or transcortical motor aphasia). Conclusions: A new classification of aphasic syndromes is proposed: primary (or ''central'') aphasias (Wernicke's aphasia-three subtypes-and Broca aphasia); secondary (or ''peripheral'') aphasias (conduction aphasia and supplementary motor area aphasia); and dysexecutive aphasia (extra-Sylvian-transcortical-motor aphasia), are distinguished.Over 20 different aphasia classifications have been proposed since Broca's first report (Broca, 1863). Table 1 presents the main aphasia classification proposals presented in recent decades. However, two points should be emphasised: (1) some of these classifications have played a guiding role in clinical practice and language research; and (2) differences are frequently observed in the names used, not in the clinical characterisation of the aphasia syndromes.
