Asyntactic
Definition
Not syntactic, lacking syntactic structure; violating, ignoring, or not conforming to the rules of word organization and combination within clauses or sentences. In linguistics, it describes utterances formed by the simple chaotic juxtaposition of words; in medicine and neurology, it applies to the fragmented speech specific to Broca's aphasia patients, characterized by the loss of structural capacity to construct grammatically correct sentences.
