Irony comprehension in right-frontal brain-damaged patients: the role of context

International audience; Thus, the aim of this study was threefold: (1) to determine whether the degree of contextual incongruity influences the extent to which individuals with right-frontal-hemisphere damage understand irony; (2) to identify the disrupted process (detection versus integration of contextual information) leading to impaired irony comprehension; and (3) to identify potential different pragmatic profiles within the RHD group.
