Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr.Kotzuga's ability to speak fluently and grammatically shows that his language production system (including Broca's area) is intact. However, the fact that what he says makes no sense indicates a problem with language comprehension, which is a symptom of Wernicke's aphasia. Agrammatism refers to difficulty with grammar and syntax, while lexical agnosia refers to difficulty with recognizing and understanding words.
