Pragmatic communication is what helps us navigate the flow of conversation. It’s how we know to pause and let others speak, when to give background information, or how to adjust how we speak depending on where we are and who we’re talking to. After a brain injury—especially one involving the frontal lobes or right hemisphere—these processes might work differently. A person may share personal stories freely, jump between topics, speak with more intensity, or miss some of the “unspoken rules” others expect. None of this makes the person “wrong”—but it may lead to communication breakdowns if their conversation partners don’t understand what’s happening.
