ABSTRACT
In this chapter the pathological speech automatisms and recurrent utterances which occur with aphasia are examined. While those traditionally associated with global or severe Broca's aphasia will be of primary concern, discussion will range over other forms of pathological automatic utterance associated with neurological conditions other than aphasia where they are relevant. We shall also be concerned to examine the apparent relationships between the different kinds of speech automatisms and to ask what they can tell us about normal speech production.
