  1. Jan 1, 2016 · Prosody is one of the most undervalued components of language, despite its fulfillment of manifold purposes. It can, for instance, help assign the correct meaning to compounds such as “white house” (linguistic function), or help a listener understand how a speaker feels (emotional function). However, brain-based models that take into ...

  2. Phonetics. In linguistics, prosody (/ ˈprɒsədi, ˈprɒz -/) [1][2] is the study of elements of speech that are not individual phonetic segments (vowels and consonants) but which are properties of syllables and larger units of speech, including linguistic functions such as intonation, stress, and rhythm. Such elements are known as ...

  3. Jun 20, 2024 · Although research has shown neural evidence for prosody-syntax interactions, more work is needed to fill the knowledge gap regarding how the brain processes these two linguistic features jointly ...

  4. Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the left and right hemisphere have been identified to support particular language functions. Networks involving the temporal cortex and the inferior frontal cortex with a clear left lateralization were shown to support ...

This publication will review, in detail, the neurological research establishing that language is a distributed bi-hemispheric function.

  6. The Neural Basis of Linguistic Prosody Processing Clinical Evidence Initially, scientists predominantly relied on the lesion approach to specify which brain regions might underlie prosody processing. For instance, one of the earlier studies to explore the contribution of the right hemisphere (RH) to linguistic prosody processing was conducted by
