[Speech disorders in right-sided brain stroke]
Abstract:
The clinical picture revealed that right-sided brain stroke is often accompanied by some speech disturbances. The present paper aims at the analysis of literature devoted to speech disturbances in right-sided brain stroke. The paper addresses issues on lateralization of speech functions, in particular the role of the right hemisphere in speech activity and structure of speech pathology in right hemispheric foci are specified. Such clinical variants of speech disturbances as aphasia, disprosodia, dysartria, mutism and stammering are analyzed in depth. Types of speech disorders as well as possible mechanisms of their formation in dependence of the lesion localization on the brain axis (cortex, subcortical structures, stem, cerebellum) and size of brain lesion are reviewed.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
