According to a recent research by a California-based research team led by neurologist Dr. Katherine P. Rankin, the right portion of parahippocampal gyrus is deals with the paralinguistic aspect of communication.

As a subcategory of paralinguistics, sarcasm is dealt with by the right parahippocampal gyrus. The gyrus can lose its ability to judge sarcasm and other nuances in case of a head injury or dementia.
