Περίληψη: This study investigates pragmatic communication abilities in Persian-speaking adults with acquired brain injury (ABI), focusing on patients with right-hemisphere damage (RHD) and left-hemisphere damage (LHD). Pragmatic competence, crucial for interpreting metaphors and speech acts, depends on distributed neural networks, with increasing evidence highlighting the right hemisphere's critical role in processing nonliteral meaning, inferencing, and social cues. Despite extensive research in non-Persian populations, evidence on pragmatic impairments in Persian speakers with focal brain injuries is limited. This study evaluates and compares pragmatic performance across RHD and LHD groups using the Montreal Protocol for the Evaluation of Communication (MEC). Results indicated that 60% of RHD patients exhibited pragmatic deficits compared to 30% of LHD patients, though group differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Lesions in temporal lobe regions and adjacent areas were consistently associated with pragmatic impairments, suggesting a significant role for these regions in higher-level communication. These findings support a stronger role for the right hemisphere in non-literal meaning and contextual cue interpretation within the Persian language context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
