Left hemisphere brain lesions resulting in aphasia frequently produce impairments in
speech production, including the ability to appropriately transmit linguistic distinctions …

Purpose: Persons with unilateral brain damage in the right hemisphere (RH) or left
hemisphere (LH) show limitations in processing linguistic prosody, with yet inconclusive …

Stimuli from two previously presented comprehension tasks of affective and linguistic
prosody (Pell & Baum, 1997) were analyzed acoustically and subjected to several …

The present investigation focussed on the neural substrates underlying linguistic distinctions
that are signalled by prosodic cues. A production experiment was conducted to examine the …

Non-canonical sentence comprehension impairments are well-documented in aphasia.
Studies of neurotypical controls indicate that prosody can aid comprehension by facilitating …

This study explored the ability of left-hemisphere-damaged (LHD) non-fluent aphasics, right-
hemisphere-damaged (RHD) patients, and normal speakers to produce acoustic correlates …

The purpose of this study was to determine if prosody facilitates the comprehension of
sentences containing temporary syntactic ambiguities in control, and left (LHD) and right …

Background Prosody serves central functions in language processing including linguistic
functions (linguistic prosody), like structuring the speech signal. Impairments in production …

Speech prosody can be decomposed into three features: pitch contour (variations in
fundamental frequency, f0), word stress (amplitude variation, dB), and timing variation …

To test a number of hypotheses concerning the functional lateralization of speech prosody,
the ability of unilaterally right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD), unilaterally left-hemisphere …
