CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of background of the study, problems of the study,
objectives of the study, and definition of key terms.
1.1 Background of the Study
“The human brain is lateralized, it has specialized functions in each of
the two hemispheres” ( ule, !""#$. Those functions that control motor
movements involved in things like speaking and object manipulation (making or
using tools$ are largely confined to the %eft &emisphere of the brain for most
human. 'ight hemisphere also takes a responsibility in processing language. t is
responsible as first choice for non)language sounds (e.g. music, coughs, bird
singing, traffic noises$. These specializations in each hemisphere have a
responsibilty in producing, comprending and processing language. ule (!""#,
p.*+ $ says, “-nalytic processing, such as recognizing the smaller details of
sounds, words and phrase structures in rapid se uence, done with the %eft brain,
and holistic processing, such as identifying more general structures in language
and e/perience, done with the 'ight brain”. t means that left hemisphere has a
function in recognizing smaller details of sounds and word phrases. 0n other
hand, the function of 'ight &emisphere is to identify more general structures in
language such as understanding and producing speech.

1lavell et al. cited in %utz and &uitt2s (!""3, p.4$ stated, “brain changes
brought about by biological maturation or e/perience and also increases
processing capacity, speed, and efficiency as a result of both maturation and
knowledge development”. There is an analogy that brain is a 56 in a computer.
The function of 56 itself is to control the computer system. f there is an error that
happens in brain, it will affect human2s activities including their speech
production. -ccording to 7undhra (!"" $, %eft &emisphere is dominating the
production and comprehension of language, but 'ight &emisphere also finds
some roles in language. n case of spoken language users, auditory speech
processing activates 'ight &emisphere. These areas are proven by e/amination,
and autopsie of the brains of people who are identified to have specific language
disabilities.
ule (!""#$ says that in the %eft &emisphere of brain, there are some parts
that are also involved in language production. The first is 8roca2s -rea that is
crucially involved in speaking ability. The second is 9ernicke2s area that is used
to control the comprehension of spoken language. 7undhra (!"" $ mentions
three parts of 'ight &emisphere which control language in his study on Brain and
Language : Importance of Brain in Language Processing . Those three parts are
'ight -nterior Temporal %obe which is more activated in comprehending
sentences than words, 'ight :uperior Temporal ;yrus which concerns in
sentences comprehending, the last is 1rontal %obe of 'ight &emisphere which
functions as comprehension in le/ical semantic ambiguitis.

9undt cited in <holid and -ndika (!""4, p.*#$ says that language is a
tool of human to e/press their idea. n order to e/press their idea, human2s brain
needs to process any information that is received. -ttention of catching memories
is also an important thing. f the processing of information is received unfully, it
will make some mistakes when human tries to produce language. &owever, some
problems with language production and comprehension are the result of serious
disorders in brain function. There is an e/ample of language disorder, there is a
person who has husty in his or her speaking, someone will find him or her to have
difficulties in language production. 9e can also find some evidences in certain
types of language disorder, one of them is -phasia. -phasia is a disorder that
happens because of injury in the brain areas. t affects the ability of language
production and comprehension. The patient who suffers from it can get the
treatment in order to gain their language ability. -phasia is an interesting topic for
the writer to investigate. The writer looks on how incredible the %eft and 'ight
&emispheres of human2s brain activity in controling the language production and
comprehension. f there is any lession in the %eft or 'ight &emisphere of human2s
brain, it will affect both language production and comprehension. The process of
regaining back their language ability of -phasia patient is important and
interesting part to know because the writer can see how human2s brain will try
slowly to activate the language ability using the treatment. The psychological
condition of the patient also involves the success of the treatment.
-ccording to an -phasia2s article by =ational nstitute of >eafness and
0ther 6ommunication >isorder (= >6>, !""?$, -phasia is a disorder that results

from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language, it can
happen because of the brain injury. 7any times, the cause of the brain injury is a
stroke. - stroke occurs when blood is unable to reach a part of the brain. 8rain
cells die when they do not receive their normal supply of blood, which carry
o/ygen and important nutrients. = >6> further mentions two catagories of
-phasia, which are 1luent and =on)1luent -phasia. 9ernicke2s -phasia becomes
the representation of 1luent -phasia. - patient who suffers from 9ernicke2s
-phasia may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary
words, and even create made)up words. - type =on)1luent -phasia is 8roca2s
-phasia. 8roca2s -phasia patient may be able to understand speech interaction,
but they have great effort to produce language. @sually 8roca2s -phasia patient
only makes a phrase which does not make sense. -nother type of =on)1luent
-phasia is ;lobal -phasia which shows the disability of the patient in producing
and comprehending the language.
8ased on the description of -phasia, the writer finds similar symptoms in
the third episode of “7r. 8rain >orama”. 7r. 8rain >orama is a Aapanesse TB
series which is produced by shimura -kihiko and yoda &idenori in !""4. t had
won so many awards. 7r. 8rain became the best suspence, detective and
psychological drama in ndo 9ebster A)>rama periode !""#)!"** and also
became the best *" TB series in ;alac -ward. ;alac -ward is also known as
;ala/y -wards which anually held once a year. -ccording to
httpCDDwww.tokyohive.comDtag)+?th)gala/y)awardsD , the ;ala/y -wards was
created to encourage the continual improvement of the Aapanese broadcasting

industry, and nominates individuals and shows from four categories (TB, radio,
67, and news$ to receive awards each year.
:ince the drama was showing the interest in brain activities, there were
many cases showing how uni ue the brain was. The writer took the third episode
of 7r. 8rain >orama and focused on 7egumi as the one of the characters who
became the victim of the tragedy. :he totally lost her memories and also her
ability of speaking. :he was unable to say even a single word and she found
difficulties to say the name of the object. The writer found some -phasia
symptoms in 7egumi2s and the uni ue treatment that was used for the patient
who suffered from -phasia. n the end of the drama, the treatment of -phasia
patient became the important evidence to uncover the mistery of the real
murderer.
Therefore, based on the reasons above, the writer conducted research
entitled The Study of Aphasia in Megumi’s Character in The Third Episode of
“Mr Brain !orama" . &opefully, this research will enrich the reader2s
information about -phasia and how to treat -phasia2s patient with certain
treatments.

RE IE2 O3 RE4ATED 4ITERATURE
n this chapter the writers would like to review the related literature. The
literatures are considered to be important sources concerning the topic being
discussed. The theories taken concerning with the study are 5sycholinguistics,
language production, communication gap, -phasia and an overview of The Third
Hpisode of “7r. 8rain >orama”.
.1 P$ycho"'ngu'$t'c$
:ince this study is concerned with 5sycholinguistics, the understanding in basic theories is really important before going to further theories.
“5sycholingustics provides insights into how we assemble our own speech and
writing and how we understand that of others, into how we store and use
vocabularyI into how we manage to ac uire a language in the first placeI into how
language can fail us” 1ield (!""+, p.i/$. t means that 5sycholinguistics makes an
8/14/2019 Chapter i and IV Begining
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-i-and-iv-begining 9/28
9
understanding about how we assemble our own speech and writing by looking at
the psycological condition and situation of ourselves and also the interlocutor.
The use of language and speech as a window to the nature and structure of
the human mind is called 5sycholinguistics (:covel, *44?$. There is a relation
between the condition of human mind with the use of language. :ome special
cases happen when there is a disruption which occurs in human brain. :covel
(*44?$ also states, “feels the more lession of the brain, the more devastating of the
impact”. This lession can come as part of aging, from developmental problems,
and from the damage to the brain (or other body systems that affect our ability to
perceive or produce language, such as the damage to our hearing$.
n short, 5sycholinguistics is the study that concern with connection
between pshychological condition of human and linguistic aspects especially in
the way of human2s language production.
. S+eech Product'on
:covel (*44?$ says that the production of speech is neuroligically and
pshycologically far more complicated than just putting words in someone2s
mouth. t needs several steps to produce the appropriate language. The writer
takes an illustration of snack, it is the favourite food people like eating. They can
enjoy it every where with every one they want. 9hen they are home, they can
share it with family or while watching movie in cinema, they also can share and
enjoy it together with friends. t needs a lot of processing to get the best
production, so the people can enjoy it alone or together. The first is choosing the
8/14/2019 Chapter i and IV Begining
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-i-and-iv-begining 10/28
10
ingredients and the stuffs to make a snack, the second is making the dough, then
baking, and finally the cooked snack is ready to eat. &owever, if the result of the
snacks does not taste well, may be there are some mistakes in the snack2s
production. t also happens in the language production, but its intricacy also goes
unappreciated until a person suffers some linguistic dissabilities or he commits
slips of tongue.
The most influencial 5sycholinguistics model for speech production,
developed by %evelt cited in :covel (*44?$, has four successive stages C
conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self monitoring.
The first processing step, conceptualization, decides what notion to
e/press. n a simple way, people will try to create a concept in their mind about
the idea which they want to share. The second step is to select a word that
corresponds to the chosen concept. n the view of %evelt cited in :covel (*44?$,
the speaker first selects syntactic word unit. t specifies the syntactic class of the
word and often additional syntactic information such as whether a verb is
intransitive (e.g. s#eep$ or transitive (e.g. eat $ and, if transitive, what arguments it
takes. The ne/t processing step is articulating the word that human wants to
produce, which is about phonological aspects. The person who wants to produce a
word will try to pronounce the word clearly in order to make the addresee
understand about what the speaker mentions. The final step is about self
monitoring. :ometimes, there is a person who has slip of tongue in his or her
conversation. :lip of tongue is a mistake in speech which provides
psycholinguistic evidence for the way human formulate words and sentences
8/14/2019 Chapter i and IV Begining
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-i-and-iv-begining 11/28
11
(:covel, *44?$. - mistake that happens in slip of tongue is usually caused by
fatigue and e/citement of the speaker. The people who have made mistakes
usually have a self corrected in their mind, so they can help themselves to readily
correct their mistakes in producing a word.
:peech production is a kind of term that is divided into several steps.
Those steps strongly help human to know more about how they make sentences
meaningfully. 8esides, it helps people to develop a treatment of a patient who has
a language disorder by observing the language patterns that are produced by them.
.% A+ha$'a
-phasia is a disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain
that is responsible for language, located on the %eft &emisphere of the brain.
(=ational nstitute on >eafness and 0ther 6ommunication >isorders henceforth C
= >6>, !""?$. -phasia usually happens as the result of head injury and stroke. -
stroke occurs when blood is unable to reach a part of the brain. 8rain cells die
when they do not receive their normal supply of blood, which carry o/ygen and
important nutrient. -phasia can develop slowly when there are other brain
diseases, such as a brain tumor, an infection, or dementia. The patient who suffers
from -phasia will not be able to produce and comprehend the language.
The disorder of -phasia can also affect the e/pression and understanding
of language as well as in reading and writing. n some cases, a patient who suffers
from -phasia will completely recover without any treatments. 7any people with
-phasia e/perience partial spontaneous recovery, in which some language abilities return a few

12
days to a month after the brain injury, while some other types of -phasia patient need longer time
to recover. n these instances, speech)language therapy is often helpful (= >6>, !""?$.
-phasia is usually first recognized by the physician who treats the person
for his or her brain injury (= >6>, !""?$. The physician will perform some tests
to a patient if she or he has an injury in their head. &e or she has to follow
commands, answer uestions, name objects, and carry on a conversation. f the
patient cannot do one of them, it means that they cannot comprehend and produce
the language in normal condition, e/press ideas, converse socially, read, and
write, swallow and use alternative and augmentative communication.
The writer makes such kind of illustrationI a patient who suffers from -phasia has a
similarity with the function of a copy machine. - copy machine needs to warm up before it is used
normally. f the copy machine is used without warming up first, the result of copying the letter will
not be really good. The process of a copy machine that the writer has mentioned has the same
process with the -phasia patient. n order to regain the -phasia patient2s speaking ability in
normal condition, the patient has to follow some treatments. n short, the treatment is a warm up of
-phasia patient in order they can speak and comprehend the language normally.
.%.1 *'nd$ of A+ha$'a
=ational nstitute on >eafness 6ommunication >isorder is an
organization which concerns with communication disorder. -phasia is one of the
observations that = >6> conducted. 8ased on = >6> (!""?$, there are three
types of -phasia which are divided into two categories, 1luent -phasia and =on)

5eople who suffers from fluent -phasia has difficulties in understanding
speech, on the other hand, they still have the ability of speaking although they
cannot create an appropriate sentence. The appropriate sentence refers to the use
of grammatical sentence and adding unnecessary words. 9ernicke2s -phasia is
the representation of fluent -phasia. t happens because of damage to the
temporal lobe of the brain may result in a fluent -phasia called 9ernicke2s
-phasia . The people who suffer from 9ernicke2s -phasia can speak fluently but
it has no meaning. 9hen they try to communicate with others, the patient will add
unnecessary words, and even create made)up words. They also have great
difficulties in understanding speech, and they are often unaware of the mistakes.
These individuals usually have no body weakness because their brain injury is not
near the parts of the brain that control movement.
.%.1. . Non53"uent A+ha$'a
5eople who suffer from non)fluent -phasia have great difficulties in
producing the language. They totally lose all of the vocabularies, even they have
the disfunction in motor movement. There are two types of =on)1luent -phasia
which are 8roca2s -phasia and ;lobal -phasia.
a. Broca6$ A+ha$'a
5eople with 8roca2s -phasia have the damage on frontal lobe of the
brain. They can understand speech and also can make small phrases although it
needs a great effort to do it. - patient who suffers from 8roca2s -phasia usually
has side)'ight weakness or the dysfunction of the leg and arm because the frontal
lobe is also responsible for motor movement.

!. -"o!a" A+ha$'a
;lobal -phasia occurs because of the result of the damage in large
portions of the language areas of the brain. t also results from damage to
e/tensive portions of the language areas of the brain. 5eople who suffer from
;lobal -phasia have difficulties in understanding and producing speech. They
may be totally nonverbal, andD or only use facial e/pressions and gestures to
communicate. t is associated with 'ight &emisphere, meaning that there can be
paralysis of the patientJs 'ight face and arm. n a simple e/planation, there are
some major characteristics of ;lobal -phasia. 8eside the inability of -phasia
patient to comprehend and produce language, the patient has poor ability in
repetition. n addition, he or she is also difficult to name an object.
n brief, each type of -phasia has different symptoms and treatments.
@nderstanding more about types of -phasia is really important. t will make the
therapist easier to do the treatment for -phasia patient if he or she already knows
which types of -phasia that the patient has.

n her latest book, Communication $aps and %o& to C#ose Them , <arten
(!""!$ defines a communication gap as “a situation in which miscommunication
or the complete lack of communication adversely affects the relationships among
the people”. - communication gap is a situation when it does not build as how it
should be. t brings misunderstanding in conversation between two or more
people. ;aps are fre uently caused by misdirected, one)way, poorly time, or
8/14/2019 Chapter i and IV Begining

badly worded communications. n addition, some gaps result from
misunderstanding, misinterpretations, and miscommunications.
-ccording to ;ray (!""#$ in his article2s summary of <arten2s book
about Communication $aps and %o& to C#ose Them (!""!$, it is stated “ a very
useful model for diagnosing gaps or untangling communications is the nteraction
7odel”. The nteraction 7odel proposed by ;ray (!""#$ consists of four stepsC
*. ntakeC what is seen and heard.
!. nterpretationC how the recipient interpreted the message.
3. 1eelingsC how the recipient felt about the interpretation.

<arten helps people to identify many of the common factors that can cause
communication gaps, for e/ampleC
• 7istaken assumptions of understanding.
• %ack of follow)up.
• @nfi/ed project terminology.
• Hmotional baggage.
• 5ersonality conflicts.
• 7ismatched communication preferences.
8oth the therapist and the family must understand the sudden change that
has occurred in the life of patients with aphasia and try to encourage them to use
their remaining abilities and enjoy their life. 7aking them know that there is still
more chances to live without using oral or written form. @nderstanding
communication gap will help people to learn more how the gap happens, what

they should do about the gap, and how they might prevent the gap in the future, so
the therapist can find the best strategy to help the -phasia patient to gain back
their language ability.

&uman being needs to communicate each other in order to e/press their
idea. 8ut sometimes, when they are in the middle of conversation, they find
nothing to speak. That moment happens because the le/ical items are missing and
the speakers must give a certain reference to communicate the desired meaning
(8ialystok G <ellerman cited ang G ;ai, !"*", p. ?$.
6order cited in ang and ;ai research of Cross'Cu#tura# Communication
(!"*", p. ?$ defines communication strategies as a systematic techni ue applied
by the speaker to e/press his meaning when he finds difficulties in
communication. 6ommunication strategies are also involved in the treatment of
-phasia2s patient. -s stated before that -phasia is one of the language disorders
because of head injury and also stroke, the patient of -phasia will not be able to
comprehend and produce language. -phasia is not a disorder that cannot be cured.
There are several strategies that are used to regain the language ability of the
patient.
Haster (!"**$ mentions one of communication strategies that is used to
-phasia2s patient is conversational repetition. 'epetition is a fundamental aspect
of language and communication which includes partial repetitions and
paraphrases. n the scientific thesis, Haster says that interaction between the

-phasia patientC
a. :implify language by using short, uncomplicated sentences .
!. 7aintain a natural conversational manner appropriate for an adult.
c. 'epeat the content words or write down key words to clarify meaning as
needed.
d. ;et the person with -phasia involved in conversations.
e. Hncourage any type of communication, whether it is speech, gesture, pointing,
or drawing.
f. -sk for and value the opinion of the person with -phasia, especially regarding
family matters.
n some cases, there are certain situations that make the interlocutor and
the addresee stuck in the middle of conversation. This reflects the same situation
that happens between the therapist and the patient when they are in therapy time.
The therapist will try several communication strategies in order to make the
patient respond his or her treatment.
The writer decided to use communication strategies for -phasia patient
from = >6> because it has brief e/planation about the treatment that should be
applied on -phasia patient. The theories of repetition as communication strategy
that has been e/plained by Haster will support the previous theory from = >6> to
give the writer more knowledge in investigating the study of -phasia.

-ccording to httpCDDadramaotaku.comDjapanese)dramaDmr)brain)introD , it
is described that Tsukumo 'yusuke was a uirky, yet brilliant neuroscientist
working for the =ational 'esearch nstitute of 5olice :cience. 9ielding a uni ue
perspective and psychology, Tsukumo tackles the nationJs most baffling crimes
and scandals, going head)to)head with the most brilliant and twisted criminal
minds. n the first and the second episode of 7r. 8rain, Tsukumo was involved in
the murderer case coincidentally because he found out that the unsolved criminal
cases were really interesting. &e tried to find the solution of the problem, he
believed that every problems always had a relation with the activation of human2s
brain. n the third episode of 7r. 8rain, Tsukumo got involved again as the
detective in criminal area. &e tried to find the evidences of senior doctor
murdered. Tsukumo found a little evidence in the hospital that the new medical
appliances were used to kill the senior doctor.
7egumi was one of the characters in the third episode of 7r.8rain. :he
became the suspicious one who knew the evidences. &owever, before she could
reveal it, 7egumi was pushed down down stairs in the hospital. The neuro)
surgeon informed that she suffered from memory loss and had problems
reconnecting memory bank and speech. n order to take another truth with
7egumi, Tsukumo was speaking slowly to 7egumi emphasizing each word.
-pparently, Tsukumo informed that the brain was a powerful organ that was able
to heal itself despite being injured.
n the end of the dorama, 7egumi2s treatment became the solution to
find the real murderer of senior doctor. Hventhough 7egumi was unable to recall

most important proofs.

-ccording to Haster2s thesis (!"**$ entitled Con(ersationa# )epetition
and Aphasia : A Case Study , it is mentioned that conversational repetition became
one of communication strategies in the treatment to recover -phasia2s patient.
The thesis also described some theories about the researcher2s observation of the
patient who suffers from -phasia and has difficulties in repetition. Haster used
two methods in approaching the -phasia2s patient. The first was using
conversational repetition while doing the treatment of regaining language ability.
The second was using replacing card in order to increase the vocabularies of the
patient. n the findings of Haster2s thesis, conversational repetition showed certain
e/pression of the patient.
