Answer to Question 1

Answer: Prosody refers to the rhythmic, emphatic, and melodic aspects of speech that are used to communicate emotional information. Prosody is greatly disrupted by damage to Broca's area, but not by damage to Wernicke's area. Damage to the right hemisphere impairs the recognition of prosody as well as the production of prosody. Prosody reflects longer-duration sounds that form rhythms, whereas the right hemisphere is important for musical skills and the detection/production of emotion.

Answer to Question 2
