Abstract

It has long been accepted that the left hemisphere (LH) is the dominant hemisphere for language. Studies from cerebral lesion patients and normal subjects provide a large amount of evidence. While the current study sets out to explore the relationship between the right hemisphere (RH) and language. Reviewing some related literature, this paper finds that RH can also perform the function of lexical representations and process supprasegmental features, pragmatic and contextual information of language. The involvement of RH in language processing and comprehension can be affected by language status and learner factors. These findings are meaningful both for language instructors and learners.
