A: Spontaneous speech is reduced
Answer: A: Spontaneous speech is reduced 
Explanation: Spontaneous speech is reduced Language allows the communication and elaboration of thoughts and experiences by linking them to arbitrary symbols known as words. the neural substrate of language is composed of a distributed network centered in the perisyln region of the left hemisphere. The posterior pole of this network is known as Wernicke's area. - An essential function of Wernicke's area is to transform sensory inputs into their neural word, representations so that these can establish the distributed associations that give the word its meaning. Wernicke's aphasia :! Comprehension - Impaired Repetition of spoken language - Impaired Naming - Impaired Fluency - Preserved/Increased. Language is highly paraphasic. Neologisms Voluminous speech.
