The perception of prosodic distinctions by adults with unilateral right-(RHD) and left-
hemisphere (LHD) damage and subjects without brain injury was assessed through six …

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

Hemispheric contributions to the processing of emotional speech prosody were investigated
by comparing adults with a focal lesion involving the right (n= 9) or left (n= 11) hemisphere …

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 …

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

Ten nonaphasic left cerebrovascular accident (CVA) patients, 12 right CVA patients, and 16
normals were matched for age, education, lesion sizes, and postonset intervals; all were …

Background: Research addressing prosodic deficits in brain-damaged populations has
concentrated on the specialised capabilities of the right and the left cerebral hemispheres in …

Affective (emotional) prosody is a neuropsychological function that encompasses non-verbal
aspects of language that are necessary for recognizing and conveying emotions in …

To examine brain lateralization of prosody during speech, the sentence production of six
right-hemisphere-lesion patients and five left-hemisphere-lesion patients was compared to …

• In addition to grammar and semantics, prosody constitutes a third element of speech.
Modulations of prosody can produce alterations in the meaning and affective tone of spoken …
