    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to explain the theoretical content of aphasia, which is a speech disorder that affects the production and comprehension of spoken language. Depending on the area of the brain that has been damaged, the symptoms of aphasia can vary and affect the patients differently. An analysis of five videos of different aphasics was carried out to prove that the theoretical characteristics of Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasia coincided with the observable symptoms of the patients. The results show that most of the patients’ symptoms coincided with those mentioned in the theoretical background, even though some variances were found.
