Q

What is Extralinguistics?

A

Gestures, proxemics (how closely do you stand to your communication partner and how that distance changes with different partners and different communication purposes), facial expressions, movements.

These behaviors might be:
added to the linguistic information (e.g. an eye roll that accompanies “You’re going to wash dishes?”)
or be used to COMMUNICATE all by themselves (e.g. just pointing toward the door when it’s time to go)

Q

Lesions on the Arcuate Fasciculus result in what?

A

Lesions here impact the ability to repeat (conduction aphasia)
To repeat, the incoming message is processed in Wernicke’s area and then sent out over the arcuate fasciculus to Broca’s area where it is programmed for production
