Discourse markers and brain lateralization

Evidence for dual language processing from neurological disorders

| University of Münster
This chapter contributes to recent lines of research proposing right-hemisphere dominance of discourse-related language tasks using neurolinguistic data on the incidence of discourse markers in the speech of unilaterally brain-damaged speakers (left- and right-hemispheric damage) compared to data produced by control (unimpaired) speakers. From a more general language-theoretic perspective these data will serve as the basis for the exploration of processing differences between two domains of language structure, one encompassing grammar and semantics, the other one the organization of discourse and interaction, which has important implications for linguistic modeling.
Keywords: discourse markers, pragmatics of communication, discourse structure, neurological impairment
