Enunciative pragmatics in right hemisphere brain damaged: a contrastive study on aphasic speakers
Abstract
We present the results of pragmatic analysis of 9 recorded conversations from right brain damaged patients; we contrast these results with similar analysis of conversational data of aphasic speakers and control group, in a research program that seeks to make a full description of the three basic pragmatic levels in this patients (enunciative, interactive, textual). The methodology used has ethnomethodological base, and the categories analysed in the transcript are of two types: enunciative categories (propositional and locative speech acts; triggers of inferences; filled and empty pauses) and interactive (type of intervention: Initiative, Inform, Evaluative Reaction, Response, Response/Initiative tunrs ). The results show that there is no systematic impairment associated with pragmatic categories depending on turn taking.Downloads
