Anomia

Anomia is a language impairment characterized by difficulty retrieving words during speech, particularly the names of objects, people, or actions. It is the most common symptom across all types of aphasia and can also occur as a standalone condition (anomic aphasia). In accessibility contexts, anomia is significant because it affects how people interact with technology that relies on verbal or text-based communication, and it highlights the need for multimodal interfaces that do not depend solely on language production.
