“…Prosody comprises two categories, linguistic and affective prosody. This distinction was first proposed by Monrad-Krohn (1947, 1957 with three categories, viz. two categories for linguistic prosody (intrinsic prosody corresponding to word/sentence stress and intonation to mark modality and structure the message; and intellectual/propositional prosody for pragmatics) and one for emotional prosody.…”

“…In the canonical model described above, the right IFC mostly supports the analysis of paralinguistic, (specifically affective) features of prosody (Heilman, Bowers, Speedie, & Coslett, ; Ross, ). Prosody was originally proposed by the Norwegian neurologist Monrad‐Krohn—the founder of the modern patholinguistic study of disorders of prosody—to be the “third element” of speech, the other elements being “grammar” (syntax) and “vocabulary” (semantics; Monrad‐Krohn, , ). In this model, prosodic information is also conveyed by so‐called intrinsic features like stress, rhythm and pitch and these features are processed by right and left inferior frontal cortex (Frühholz et al., ; Vigneau et al., , ).…”

Inferior frontal regions in the left and right hemisphere support different aspects of language processing. In the canonical model, left inferior frontal regions are mostly involved in processing based on phonological, syntactic and semantic features of language, whereas the right inferior frontal regions process paralinguistic aspects like affective prosody. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)‐based probabilistic fibre tracking in 20 healthy volunteers, we identify a callosal fibre system connecting left and right inferior frontal regions that are involved in linguistic processing of varying complexity. Anatomically, we show that the interhemispheric fibres are highly aligned and distributed along a rostral to caudal gradient in the body and genu of the corpus callosum to connect homotopic inferior frontal regions. In the light of converging data, taking previous DTI‐based tracking studies and clinical case studies into account, our findings suggest that the right inferior frontal cortex not only processes paralinguistic aspects of language (such as affective prosody), as purported by the canonical model, but also supports the computation of linguistic aspects of varying complexity in the human brain. Our model may explain patterns of right‐hemispheric contribution to stroke recovery as well as disorders of prosodic processing. Beyond language‐related brain function, we discuss how inter‐species differences in interhemispheric connectivity and fibre density, including the system we described here may also explain differences in transcallosal information transfer and cognitive abilities across different mammalian species.
