Communicative Abilities After Right-Hemisphere Stroke: Case Study Using the Lille Communication Test (TLC)/a>

Pr. Nafissa BOURIDAH
Abstract

This study examines the communicative abilities of a right-handed patient who experienced a right-hemisphere stroke, using the Lille Communication Test (TLC), adapted for the Algerian linguistic and sociocultural context. A descriptive single-case methodology is employed to evaluate verbal and non-verbal communicative performance in the absence of aphasia. The adapted TLC enabled a multidimensional assessment of communicative behaviour, encompassing attentional, verbal, and non-verbal components. Findings revealed preservation of structural aspects of language, including phonological, lexical, and syntactic domains, as well as mild prosodic impairment and subtle pragmatic features. In contrast, pronounced difficulties were observed in the non-verbal domain, particularly in the comprehension and production of symbolic and ideational gestures. These outcomes are consistent with established neurolinguistic evidence indicating the right hemisphere’s role in prosody, pragmatics, and non-verbal communication.

Keywords: Right hemisphere stroke; communicative abilities; Lille Communication Test (TLC)
