''Language and Language Disturbances: Aphasic Symptom Complexes and Their Significance for Medicine and Theory of Language'' is a book on aphasia by Dr. Kurt Goldstein, published in 1948. In ''Language and Language Disturbances'', Goldstein theorized that a loss of abstract processing was the core deficit in aphasia.〔Davidoff, Jules. "Color terms and color concepts." ''Journal of Experimental Child Psychology'' 94, no. 4 (2006): 334-338.〕 In his work, Goldstein studied transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA), characterizing it as impaired auditory comprehension, with intact repetition and fluent speech.〔Boatman, Dana, Barry Gordon, John Hart, Ola Selnes, Diana Miglioretti, and Frederick Lenz. "Transcortical sensory aphasia: revisited and revised." ''Brain'' 123, no. 8 (2000): 1634-1642.〕 Goldstein studied word comprehension in patients with aphasia, theorizing that naming shows relatively little specificity to the site of lesion within the left hemisphere.〔Coughlan, A. K., and ELIZABETH K. WARRINGTON. "Word-comprehension and word-retrieval in patients with localized cerebral lesions." ''Brain'' 101, no. 1 (1978): 163-185.〕 Goldstein compared patients with damage restricted to the anterior portion of the left hemisphere (whose difficulties are primarily a matter of production) with those with exclusively posterior damage (whose difficulties lie chiefly in comprehension.〔Winner, Ellen, and Howard Gardner. "The comprehension of metaphor in brain-damaged patients." ''Brain'' 100, no. 4 (1977): 717-729.〕 Goldstein cited cases where patients experienced semantic confusion and could not verbalize certain words as a result of the brain damage. In one instance, a German patient of Goldstein's who could not name a handkerchief, said instead "''nas'putzen''" ("to blow one's nose").〔Lebrun, Wan, and Eric Buyssens.
