I'd like to hear more about paralinguistic effects and the right hemisphere- is 
the right involved in deliberate imitation of accents other dialects, 
languages, tempos, etc.? What about changes of voice for expressive purposes, 
as to sound large, or small?

I've proposed that onomatopoeia and ideophones are generated or controlled via 
the right hemisphere. Yet despite the large role such forms play in many 
different languages (such as Korean, Japanese, etc.), there appears to have 
been no work that I am aware of to attempt to localize them. Any ideas? Thanks.
