Difficulté, voire souvent impossibilité de produire le mot adéquat dans une activité linguistique donnée et au moment voulu; elle se manifeste soit par une absence de production, soit par un temps de latence ou encore par une production-substitut erronée (paraphasie ou périphrasie). Le manque du mot peut appartenir au tableau sémiologique de toutes les variétés cliniques d'aphasie, voire de toute atteinte cérébrale même sans aphasie comme telle. Il variera ainsi dans sa présentation clinique sans doute en fonction de mécanismes physiopathologiques sous-jacents différents. 2, record 2, French, - anomie
