“…Interestingly, a recent review of the literature (Baum & Pell, 1999) shows that the processing (in production and perception) of prosody in general (affective and linguistic) is not strictly localizable to the right hemisphere. More specifically, this review quotes lesion studies on the production and on the perception of emphatic stress (which is related to prosodic focus) showing that left-damaged patients (most often Broca's aphasics) can be as strongly impaired as right-damaged patients or even more (see Baum, Daniloff, Daniloff, & Lewis, 1982;Bryan, 1989;Ouellette & Baum, 1994;Pell, 1998; see also Avrutin, Lubarsky, & Greene, 1999;Geigenberger & Ziegler, 2001). Recent neuroimaging studies also provide converging results.…”

The left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG, BA 44, 45, 47) has been associated with linguistic processing (from sentence-to syllable-parsing) as well as action analysis. We hypothesize that the function of the LIFG may be the monitoring of action, a function well adapted to agent deixis (verbal pointing at the agent of an action). The aim of this fMRI study was therefore to test the hypothesis that the LIFG is involved during the production of agent deixis.We performed an experiment, whereby three kinds of deictic sentences were pronounced, involving prosodic focus, syntactic extraction and prosodic focus with syntactic extraction.A common pattern of activation was found for the three deixis conditions in the LIFG (BA 45 and/or 47), the left insula and the bilateral premotor (BA 6) cortex. Prosodic deixis additionally activated the left anterior cingulate gyrus (BA 24, 32), the left supramarginal gyrus (LSMG, BA 40) and Wernicke's area (BA 22).Our results suggest that the LIFG is involved during agent deixis, through either prosody or syntax, and that the LSMG and Wernicke's area are additionally required in prosody-driven deixis. 0911-6044/$ -see front matter q

“…Within the domain of speech prosody, it has been claimed that pitch-related aspects of speech are predominantly processed in the right hemisphere (e.g., Zatorre, Evans, Meyer, & Gjedde, 1992), but that the left hemisphere is crucial when linguistic meaning of intonation is involved (e.g., Blumstein & Cooper, 1974;Emmorey, 1987;Perkins et al, 1996). A number of neuropsychological studies have also suggested a dichotomy between affective and linguistic prosody in terms of lateralization, and suggested that linguistic dysprosody appears to be associated with left-hemisphere damage and affective dysprosody with right-hemisphere damage (e.g., Emmorey, 1987;Geigenberger & Ziegler, 2001;Karow, Marquardt, & Marshall, 2001). However, contradictory evidence has also been reported (e.g., Weintraub, Mesulam, & Kramer, 1981).…”

The Relationship between Musical Skills, Music Training, and Intonation Analysis Skills

et al. 2007

Few attempts have been made to look systematically at the relationship between musical and intonation analysis skills, a relationship that has been to date suggested only by informal observations. Following Mackenzie Beck (2003), who showed that musical ability was a useful predictor of general phonetic skills, we report on two studies investigating the relationship between musical skills, musical training, and intonation analysis skills in English. The specially designed music tasks targeted pitch direction judgments and tonal memory. The intonation tasks involved locating the nucleus, identifying the nuclear tone in stimuli of different length and complexity, and same/different contour judgments. The subjects were university students with basic training in intonation analysis. Both studies revealed an overall significant relationship between musical training and intonation task scores, and between the music test scores and intonation test scores. A more detailed analysis, focusing on the relationship between the individual music and intonation tests, yielded a more complicated picture. The results are discussed with respect to differences and similarities between music and intonation, and with respect to form and function of intonation. Implications of musical training on development of intonation analysis skills are considered. We argue that it would be beneficial to investigate the differences between musically trained and untrained subjects in their analysis of both musical stimuli and intonational form from a cognitive point of view.

“…e.g. (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)), very few of these studies have used nonexperimental speech data and/or have taken an interactional perspective on the topic (cf. (15,16) for a couple of exceptions, albeit from somewhat different perspectives).…”

Prosodic contextualization of minimal responses to yes/no-questions in aphasic talk-in-interaction: A descriptive single-case study of a Norwegian aphasic speaker

The article explores aspects of the role of prosody as a contextualisation cue in aphasic conversation through auditory and acoustic analysis of an aphasic speaker's use of pitch variation in responses to closed yes/no-requests. The results reveal two prosodic realisations of 'yes' and 'no' contextualising different kinds of responses: a flat realisation with no prolongation and minimal pauses, signalling decisiveness, and a realisation with movement in pitch, prolongation and preceding pauses, signalling indecisiveness. The analysis also shows how the aphasic uses a particular realisation manipulatively for interactional purposes. The study illustrates the vital role that seemingly unimportant details play in the co-constructive process of creating meaning in interaction. The results indicate an area of competence that seems undisturbed in this speaker.
