| | Language Production in Children with Anomia |
 | | Anomia can oftentimes be the first sign of a brain tumor, even in situations in which the tumor is located far from the language center. |
 | | Anomia is characterized by circumlocutory speech, semantic paraphasias (in which another word is substituted for the intended word), anomic latencies, real anomies, and “pass partout” words (Sangermani et al., 1999). |
 | | To summarize this chart, anomia patients have fair to good ability to repeat language, are very fluent, their morphology and grammar are pretty much unaffected, but they exhibit frequent circumlocutions in their speech. |
