What is "paragrammatism"

n. The confused or incomplete use of grammatical structures, found in certain forms of speech disturbance.

Paragrammatism is the confused or incomplete use of grammatical structures, found in certain forms of speech disturbance. Paragrammatism is the inability to form grammatically correct sentences. It is characteristic of fluent aphasia, most commonly Receptive aphasia. Paragrammatism is sometimes called "extended paraphasia," although it is different from paraphasia. Paragrammatism is roughly synonymous with " word salad," which concerns the semantic coherence of speech rather than its production.
