Abstract

Language studies were done on four multilingual dextral Chinese patients who developed dysphasia from various causes. The left hemisphere appeared to be dominant for all the languages in the four patients. All the languages and dialects were universally involved during the development of dysphasia. In one patient,
there was evidence of delayed restitution in the patient's mother tongue (Hokkien) comparing with Mandarin and English which were the languages used in the hospital and for reading.
