This is interesting:
If Broca in the left brain is injured or damaged (expressive aphasia), ASL speakers would have difficulty with expression or production as found in spoken language lesion. Both signer and speaker with expressive aphasia alike would struggle with production, but they could understand words/signs normally.
Likewise, if Wernicke's area in the left brain is injured or damaged (receptive aphasia), a signer and a speaker alike would have a difficult time comprehending a language, but would have no problem with language production.
What does this mean? Language is amodal; that is, language is not speech-based, but rather is brain-based, regardless of the modality (signing, speech, or writing)."
