> it has anything to do with the "strong"/"weak eye distinction
I doubt this: "strong"/"weak" eye depends on the optical properties of an eye (my right eye was weak before I started to wear eyeglasses, and I am right-handed; this asymmetry in my case might have been caused by the preferential use of the right eye during reading [back to language]).
> left/right-handedness
What about the speech hemisphere? It's still the left hemisphere of the brain, i.e. right side of the body and the world (neural cross-connection), regardless of left/right-handedness, is not it?
But it would be interesting to control for left/right-handedness and for weak eyes, to check for possible alternative explanations...
**********************************
The straightforward explanation, that this is caused by "hidden synaesthesia" between vision and speech, and that this happens mostly in the left hemisphere, where the speech is processed, and thus affects only the right field of view, which is also processed in the left hemisphere of the brain, still seems the most plausible to me...
