Mood, aphasia, and affective language comprehension

Understanding the emotional content in the words of others and reacting in an adequate way are basic human competences. This article deals with some of the multiple facets of language comprehension and inferences on protagonists’ emotions depending on mood and neuropsychological factors. The first section asks how moods color our understanding of other people’s emotion expressions, thereby influencing communicative behavior. The second section discusses neuropsychological foundations of emotion perception. Lesions in each hemisphere influence this competence in different aspects. Results from reading tasks will present the specific problems of mild aphasia vs. right hemispheric lesions showing different error patterns to infer the emotional content from small texts. Consequences for patients’ communication strategies and emotive alignment are discussed.
Keywords: aphasia, embodiment, emotional alignment, hemispheric dominance, inference processes, verbal emotion perception
