Three main sources of observation are reviewed: experiments with normal subjects, with split-brain subjects, and with brain-damaged subjects. The first three chapters present (1) a historical introduction, (2) a critical review of the advantages and limits of the different methodologies used, and (3) a discussion of the contribution of the aphasia literature. Then, each subsequent chapter addresses one particular component of the possible contribution of the right hemisphere to verbal communication: lexical-semantics, written language, prosody and pragmatics. This book is intended for professionals who would like to consult a critical contemporary review of the subject. It offers a unique synthesis of nearly all the behavioral literature on the topic coming from many different, but complementary, fields such as neuropsychology, linguistics, neurology and speech sciences; it also contains a helpful bibliography. The authors open many new doors to promising research avenues in terms of both theoretical and practical questions, and offer a rapidly accessible source of information and reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68021334737184,"sku":"USED0387971017","price":44.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/515-Ac8x9SL_a95ed86d-5310-4161-bb4d-16fbc89a9413.jpg?v=1793134082","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/right-hemisphere-and-verbal-communication-0387971017-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
