What is the language disorder in which speech sounds fluent, but makes no sense?

Consider the core clue in the question: speech sounds fluent but lacks meaningful content. This points toward a language comprehension deficit rather than a motor speech problem.
Option 1: Wernicke's aphasia. This condition is classically described as fluent but nonsensical speech with impaired comprehension, where individuals may produce jargon or semantic errors and seem unaware that their speech doesn’t make sense. This matches the clue precisely.
Option 2: Apraxia. Apraxia of speech involves difficulty planning or programming the movements required for speech. Speech may be effortful, distorted, or halting, but it is not typically fluent and meaningless; instead, the issue is motor planning rather than language content itself.
Option 3: Split-brain syndrome. This refers to a disconnection between brain hemispheres, often due to severed corpus callosum. It is not a primary language disorder with fluent but nonsensical speech; rather, it can affect information transfer between hemispheres and has a broader neuropsychological profile.
Option 4: Broca's aphasia. Also known as nonfluent aphasia, characterized by halting, agrammatic speech with relatively preserved comprehension. This contrasts with the described fluent-but-contentless speech, making this option incorrect for the given scenario.
