Abstract

The previous prevailing view in neurolinguistics was that it is the left hemisphere which play a central role in different linguistic levels and damage to this hemisphere, in various forms, causes impairments in linguistic abilities of individuals to varying degrees, but today it has become clear that right hemisphere is involved in processing of various linguistic aspects. Neurolinguistics studies have shown that due to brain damages in some areas, the ability to understand or produce language is impaired to varying degrees and causes language disorders. The aim of the present study was to evaluate prosodic skills in adult right and left hemispheres damaged patients using the Persian version of the Montreal Protocol for the Evaluation of Communication (M.E.C.)
