Aprosody (literally, without prosody) refers to the lack of variations in normal speech characteristics, such as speed, tone, and varied emphasis. It is mentioned in the context of medical diagnosis, similar to ataxia and aphasia. Aprosody can be seen in schizophrenia as well as a non dominant Broca lesion.
