Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telegraphic speech is characterized by omitting function words and using mostly concrete words. This type of speech is often seen in individuals with Broca's aphasia, who have difficulty with producing grammatically correct sentences. Word salad refers to a disorganized mixture of words and sounds, spectral speech is not a recognized term in speech-language pathology, and paraphasic speech involves the production of unintended or incorrect words.
