Damage to Wernicke's area in the posterior part of the temporal lobe can impair semantic abilities, while leaving syntax relatively intact. This condition is known as Wernicke's aphasia or receptive aphasia. Aphasia's area and William's area are not terms commonly used in the study of language and the brain. Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in syntax production, but damage to this area typically results in agrammatism (difficulty with grammatical structures) rather than semantic impairments.
