This paper aims to analyze the linguistic form of subjectivity of speaker such as right-brain-damaged patients (henceforth RBD), who have been known as being able to manifest a discourse disorder or pragmatic disorder. The previous studies on the quantity of semantic propositions in the oral production of narratives have proved statistically that the RBDs manifest a difficulty in discourse organization according to three categories of narratives. However, for the purpose of extracting the predicative structure ‘P(predicate, agent, patient)’ in the production of discourse, all the linguistic forms of subjectivity of speakers were excluded inevitably, such as ‘I don’t know well’, ‘That’s all I know’, ‘It is about the good triumphing over the evil’, etc. On the basis of the neuropsycholinguistic hypothesis on the dissociation of the brain areas of referential form and modalizing form of language established by observing some patients of Wernicke’s aphasia, it was necessary to analyze the linguistic form of subjectivity of RBD speakers. In order to consider the variables other than brain lesion, the task of discourse production was performed to four groups of subjects ; RBDs, control group, young normal group and adult learners of french. From the empirical point of view, the linguistic forms of subjectivity were classified as a) intervention in the discourse, b) metalanguage such as moral of narratives, c) strategy of speech such as hesitation or omission. And the occurrences of markers of micro-structure and macro-structure of discourse were also analyzed because they were regarded as functioning as marker of subjectivity of speaker in discourse organization. Our results are summarized as follows;Firstly, in the process of subjective forms, the young normal group manifested the highest capacity in the intervention in the discourse and in the usages of markers of both micro- and macro- structures, which is presumed to prove that these two aspects of discourse process are correlated. In the second place, the control group and the RBDs manifested the highest capacity in the interpretation of metalanguage in comparison with other younger groups, which verifies the function of variables of age. Third point, the strategy of speech such as hesitation or omission was remarkable in RBDs. It is inferred that these strategies are necessary for the brain damaged patients to compensate their uncomfortable language behavior because they recognize themselves their deficiency. Fourthly, the RBDs showed a better performance in the process of markers of macro-structure than the control group, which is in opposition with the result when the quantity of semantic propositions was analyzed. This finding supports the hypothesis on the dissociation between the process of referential form and that of subjective form. In the last place, the RBDs were seemed to follow a similar pattern to control group in their process of subjective forms of discourse, but they showed always a higher capacity than in french learners. In conclusion, according to our analyses on the subjective form in the production of discourse of Korean RBD and other groups of speakers, divergent modes of processing the subjective forms were found between aphasia patients and RBDs, and between English or French speakers and Koreans. For further studies, it is required to research in detail the discourse processing in a diverse group of speakers.
