“…It is one of the elements of prosody, the nonsegmental components of spoken language (Couper-Kuhlen, 1986 variously that intonation disorder in aphasia may be due to underlying linguistic (Danly, Cooper, & Shapiro, 1983;Heilman, Bowers, Speedie, & Coslett, 1984;Perkins, Baran, & Gandour, 1996;Walker, Daigle, & Buzzard, 2002), phonetic-motoric (Cooper, Soares, Nicol, Michelow, & Goloskie, 1984;Danly & Shapiro, 1982;GraffRadford, Cooper, Colsher, & Damasio, 1986;Ryalls, 1982Ryalls, , 1984Seddoh, 2000) or temporal (Gandour, Petty, & Dardarananda, 1988;Gandour et al, 1992; see also Van Lancker & Sidtis, 1992) processing deficit. Studies that suggest primary linguistic involvement include those on perception (Heilman et al, 1984;Perkins et al, 1996;Walker et al, 2002) and production (Cooper et al, 1984;Danly & Shapiro, 1982;Danly et al, 1983). The possibility that aspects of intonation processing might be preserved following brain damage has also been reported for these patients Berndt, Salasso, Mitchum, & Blumstein, 1988;Seddoh, 2000;Walker, Fongemie, & Daigle, 2001).…”
