A case of pure word deafness due to a left temporal infarct is reported. The results of dichotic tests suggest that auditory verbal material may be processed in the right hemisphere. The inability to repeat nonsense words, the frequent semantic paraphasias in real-word repetition tasks, and the capacity to give a partial account of the meaning of a word that the patient cannot repeat show that despite the impairment of the phonological analysis, lexical semantic processing is possible. An attempt is made to demonstrate that the patient resorts to this semantic processing and that this reflects the linguistic competence of the right hemisphere.
报告了一例因左侧颞叶梗死导致的纯词聋病例。双耳分听测试结果表明，听觉言语材料可能在右半球进行处理。无法重复无意义单词、在实词重复任务中频繁出现语义性错语，以及能够对患者无法重复的单词的含义进行部分解释，这些都表明尽管语音分析受损，但词汇语义处理仍有可能。本文试图证明患者采用了这种语义处理方式，且这反映了右半球的语言能力。
