GREEN PEACE

Dysarthria should be distinguished from dysphasia for in this condition is no defect in the comprehension of words not their use to express ideas, but rather a failure of the articulator mechanism. That is, the idea is given its correct symbol but the pattern of muscle contraction is distorted in the vocal apparatus; the words are correct but they are mispronounced, quieting is not affected n contract to the condition in expressive aphasia where is usually also impairment of ability to express oneself by means of written symbols.
