Question

What are the paraphasias?

Is there more than 2

Answer 1

The paraphasias are the utterances that we make but are totally unintended. Paraphasias may be of different types more than 2 such as at the phonemic level as a phonemic(literal) which is the failure of selection at the phonemic level for example; “I drove home in my lar”)

Paraphasias at the level of a word called the (lexical) paraphasia e.g., “I drove home in my wagon”.

Paraphasia may be neologistic when the unintended word is contaminated with extraneous phonemes very heavily, thus being nonsensical in context.
