This article presents an analysis of the phonemic substitutions occurring in the speech of an aphasic patient. It has been held by various writers on the subject of aphasia that changes in the speech of an adult aphasic bear some relation to the developments in the speech of a child when he is learning to talk. Other authors, including doctor Macdonald Critchley have held this theory to be unsound for a variety of reasons. An analysis of a patient's speech was done and the result contradict the idea that the degeneration of speech in aphasia mirrors its development in childhood.
