摘要：Lesion studies suggest that right hemisphere-dependent mechanisms are particularly involved when understanding pragmatic aspects of language such as non-literal language. However, literature on neuroimaging of metaphor processing remains controversial; some studies show a specific role of the right hemisphere (RH) fcr pragmatic processing (Mashal, Faust, Hendler, & Jung-Beeman, 2007) whereas others do not (Rapp, Leube, Erb, Grodd, & Kircher, 2007).
