    The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the degree of incongruity between contextual information and a target sentence influences the extent to which irony is understood in individuals with right-frontal-hemisphere damage (RHD). A psycholinguistic paradigm was used, allowing us to assess whether impairment in irony understanding is likely to be due to insensitivity (i.e. difficulty in capturing or detecting relevant contextual information) to relevant contextual information or to difficulties in integrating contextual information. Twenty individuals with RHD and 20 healthy control (HC) participants were tested on their understanding of a speaker’s ironic intent and their executive functions. The main results revealed that individuals with RHD exhibit different patterns of performance, some of them being able to understand irony while in others this ability was impaired. The present study gives support to the hypothesis that difficulties in adequately using contextual information may account for pragmatic impairment of individuals with RHD. More importantly, the results suggested that these difficulties are related to a lack of sensitivity to contextual information instead of difficulty integrating it along with the ironic utterance. A subgroup of individuals with RHD processed the speaker’s utterance without any reference to contextual information, which led them to a literal interpretation of the utterance.

    Prise en charge des troubles de la communication consécutifs à un traumatisme crânio-cérébral : une revue systématique
    Suite à un traumatisme crânio-cérébral, plusieurs individus présentent des troubles de la communication pouvant affecter la prosodie, le discours et/ou la pragmatique. Ces déficits sont une source importante de handicap, dans la mesure où ils constituent un frein à la réintégration professionnelle et sociale, et ce encore plusieurs années après le traumatisme. Le diagnostic de tels déficits et la mise en place d’une prise en charge adaptée sont par conséquent capitaux. Malheureusement, les outils d’évaluation et les pistes de prise en charge pour aider les logopédistes dans leur travail sont encore peu nombreux. Par conséquent, cet article vise à donner un aperçu de l’état actuel des données sur les traitements de la communication consécutifs à un traumatisme crânio-cérébral, par le biais d’une recherche systématique de littérature. Nous décrirons ainsi les modalités et types de thérapies utilisés pour traiter divers domaines de la communication et rapporterons les résultats prometteurs de ces études concernant la question de leur efficacité à court et long terme. Quelques pistes de réflexion et perspectives découlant de ces résultats seront finalement discutées., After a traumatic brain injury, many individuals experience communication disorders, affecting especially prosody, discourse and/or pragmatics. These deficits are an important source of disability, as they constitute an impediment to professional and social reintegration, even several years after the injury. The diagnosis of such deficits and the introduction of appropriate therapies are crucial. Unfortunately, there are still few assessment tools and rehabilitation pathways to assist speech therapists in their work. This article aims to provide an overview of the current state of the evidence on communication treatments following a traumatic brain injury, through a systematic search of the literature. We will describe the modalities and types of therapies used to address various areas of communication and will report the promising results of their shortand long-term efficiency. The results and further perspectives are finally discussed.
