How to say 語病 in English?
How to say 語病 in English, as in 這句話有點語病?
Literally "this sentense has a minor language sickness."
What if there is a logic problem in the sentense and I'd like to point it out slightly?

In everyday speech, we say of written problems with logic, "This sentence doesn't make sense" or "This part of the sentence doesn't make sense." If it were spoken, we would say, "That doesn't make sense," or we would ask for clarification. We would state the part that didn't make sense directly before or after saying this.
Person A: "What time you usually get high in the morning?"
Person B: " 'Get high?' I don't understand."
Person A: "You know ... wake?"
Person B: "Oh! You mean 'get UP'! I get up at 5:00."
________________________________
Person A: "He is a little below."
Person B: "That doesn't make sense, 'below'. What do you mean?"
Person A: "Like ... he is sad."
Person B: "Oh, I see: 'He is depressed.' "

Hello Dino,
語病 could be either :
- grammatical error or
- incoherent wording ( presentation).
So you could say:
" This sentence has some ( minor) grammatical errors."
"This sentence is presented a little incoherently."
" This sentence includes minor incoherent wording".
In response to additional details:
You could use in this case " logical error" .
"This sentence is lacking somehow logical and valid reasoning."
"This sentence contains some logical error."

"This sentence...
...is a little misspelled." (spelling mistake)
...has a confused word order." (grammar)
...can not be read fluently." (rough style)
...has a strange style of speech." (wrong style)
In spoken language someone would have a "speech disorder".
