I have always noticed that my boyfriend often uses "wrong" words, that are not really fitting in a certain context (semantically related), but it is possible to understand him.
I always thought he might just be stupid/dumb, but the thing is that I consider him to be really intelligent otherwise.
I have come across this term "semantic paraphasia", but I don't know if this really fits....because the "errors" he makes are not as extreme such as saying "table" when he wants to say "chair", but rather....
....something like saying "hat" instead of "cap", when I'm sure he knows the difference..... it is really worst with verbs...
does anyone of you have experience with something like this?
