| Abstract | We reviewed the recent findings on aphasia based on a consideration for the clinical utility of Ardila's new classification of aphasias. Regarding the classification of aphasias, we highlight that a multidimensional approach that is focused on multiple components of the language system, such as motor speech, phonologic, and semantic levels is more useful than a categorical approach. We introduce the Mini Linguistic State Examination (MLSE) as a new method of assessment that analyzes impairment patterns based on "error types" rather than the percentage of correct answers to tasks. Finally, we note that the importance of symptomatology continues to grow in aphasia research in the era of open science and artificial intelligence. |
