Zusammenfassung:
Communicative compentence requires the interpretation of ut-
terances in light of background knowledge, comprehension goal
and context information .In addition to aphasic language disor-
ders so-called non-aphasic communication deficits have been
described .These deficits manifest themselves whenever non-li-
teral meanings are relevant or when the global context or
structure needs to be derived .In neuropsychological research
the focus has been on the frontal lobes and the right hemisphere.
Recent neuroimaging studies have accumulated evidence for
both of these brain regions to be involved during most aspects
of complex language comprehension .In particular the anterior
temporal lobes and the fronto-medial cortex play a specific role
for the integration and interpretation of verbal information .Cli-
nical diagnosis of brain damaged patients should therefore inclu-
de an assessment of contextual language processing in addition
to the evaluation of aphasic language deficits.
