Left- and right-hemisphere-damaged participants and normal controls produced literal and idiomatic versions of idioms ("He hit the books.") All groups modulated duration to distinguish the interpretations. LHD…

Individuals with LHD were unable to identify phonemic stress contrasts with better-than-chance accuracy. Individuals with RHD performed better than those with LHD.…
