Language production occurs in the human brain. One of language disorders caused by the damage of the brain is called aphasia. There are three broad categories of aphasia: fluent or Wernicke aphasia, non-fluent or Broca aphasia, and pure aphasia or Alexia. In this study, the writer only investigated the language production disorder of someone suffer’s from Broca aphasia. This disorder will trouble someone in producing the language. The aim of this study was to find out the characteristics of language production of Mr. Arifin as a Broca aphasic. This study used qualitative approach because it analyzed the language production disorder from a Broca aphasic. Case study was applied in this study to get the detail description from the subject.

The data of this study were utterances produced by Mr. Arifin. This study revealed that there are seven characteristics of language production of Broca aphasic encountered by Mr. Arifin. Those are the output rate is low, the utterances have articulation disorder, are typically short, have fluency disorder, have disruption of normal intonational patterns, often omits the formation of affixes and function words, and mostly concern in content words. The writer found that the subject found difficulties in producing clear articulation, getting fluency disorder, and producing short utterances as the major characteristics encountered by Mr. Arifin. In this study, the writer concluded that Mr. Arifin cannot produce language as fluent as other people since he encounters seven characteristics of Broca aphasia. Producing language will give him hard situation and trigger language production disorder during speech. However, the result of this study cannot be generalized to other Broca aphasia cases. The last, the writer suggests the readers to be aware of the characteristics of Broca aphasia by knowing the characteristics of a Broca aphasic.
