The production of speech prosody in emotional contexts was examined in Thai patients with unilateral right hemisphere damage. Twelve right hemisphere patients and nine normals read target sentences embedded in paragraphs that cued either a happy, sad, or neutral affect. Perceptual evaluations of their productions revealed a severe deficit in right hemisphere patients. Acoustic analysis indicated that longterm measures of fundamental frequency, timing, and energy at the sentence level were aberrant in right hemisphere patients. Findings are discussed in relation to nature and extent of prosodic deficits in right hemisphere patients, hemispheric specialization for linguistic and affective prosody, and the effect of language structure on the manifestation of affective prosody.
研究了单侧右半球损伤的泰国患者在情感情境中言语韵律的产生情况。12名右半球患者和9名正常人朗读了嵌入在提示快乐、悲伤或中性情感的段落中的目标句子。对他们朗读内容的感知评估显示，右半球患者存在严重缺陷。声学分析表明，右半球患者在句子层面的基频、时长和能量的长期测量结果异常。结合右半球患者韵律缺陷的性质和程度、语言和情感韵律的半球特化以及语言结构对情感韵律表现的影响对研究结果进行了讨论。
