The present study investigates the role of prosodic clues (pitch, pause) in processing the oral speech syntactic structure. The stimuli used were syntactically simple sentences and sentences with different syntagmatic segmentation, where the place of a semantic pause changes the syntactic structure and the meaning of a sentence. They were presented binaurally to twelve right-handed, musically untrained native Russian speakers. The results support the notion that auditory speech comprehension is not restricted to the left hemisphere. The underlying mechanisms and the respective role of the right hemisphere and cerebellum structures during speech processing are discussed.

These mechanisms of auditory speech perception deal with the segmenting pause and tonal changes, thus, the question arises of how the data on syntax processing correspond with the necessity to process prosodic clues for syntax comprehension in oral speech. Syntax processing in sentence reading studies was described to occur primarily in left hemispheric regions emphasizing the importance of the left inferior frontal gyrus with the right homotopic cortices being activated to a weaker extent, while an important role in the prosodic features processing belongs to the right inferior frontal cortex, reported to be involved in pitch and tone perception. There is a difference in brain mechanisms, underlying oral and visual syntactic structures perception.

Thus, we believe that in our study the right posterior inferior frontal gyrus activation reflected the perception of pitch boundaries of the semantic pause. We also presume that the right cerebellum activation in our study is due to the semantic disruption in sentences, caused by the pause. Dependence of brain activation on different presentation modalities supports the idea of syntactic processing being not strictly localised in the brain.
