Abstract
Apraxia of speech is considered as an impairment of the translation of phonological into movement information. In this article the symptoms of apra- xia of speech are reviewed and the syndrome is delineated from the dysarthrias and from apha- sic-phonological impairment. Terminological conventions borrowed from articulatory phono- logy are introduced as a tool to explain apraxic error mechanisms, and the role of conventional tasks probing a patient ' s phonological aware- ness is discussed. In a fi nal paragraph, apraxia of speech is considered on the background of neu- rological models of movement pathologies.
