Can you provide an example of what semantic jargon is, and what areas of the brain are typically associated with semantic jargon?
Answer
Semantic jargon is someone who produces real words, but they are kind of “word salad.” The words do not make sense. This is, in a way, a step up from neologistic jargon in which a person is producing speech that does not consist primarily of real words. People with semantic jargon have lesions posterior to the temporoparietal-occipital junction.

'Excellent content and organization of material! However, WAY WAY WAY too much for a one-hour presentation!

Parkinson's got short shrift, as she mentioned'Read Reviews
