Scientists have tried for over a century to understand how the brain learns, stores, and processes language. The relationship between language and the brain is symmetrical. Of course, language isa function of the peculiar structure of the human brain. Theories and approaches have been emerged over the years to study and analyze the process of language acquisition. Theoretical paradigms inguiding the course of language acquisition are Behaviourism, Innatism and Interactionism that were considered to be the heart of current language acquisition theories topics. Language acquisition isthe process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate. The capacity to successfully use languagerequires one to acquire a range of tools including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and an extensive vocabulary. The human language capacity is represented in the brain.
Several areas of thebrain have been identified with linguistic skills, such as producing and understanding speech. Also, people with brain damage in specific areas have difficulties with very specific aspects of language.The human brain is separated into two distinct hemispheres connected by a corpus callosum, that facilitates communication between the two hemispheres. Those hemispheres are the right hemisphere andthe left hemisphere. Franz Joseph Gall proposed the localization theory, which helps us to understand our behavior, our personality, our creativity, and our ability to use the proper mode of thinkingwhen performing particular tasks. Gall, argue in favor of modularity with the brain divide into distinct anatomical that were directly responsible for specific cognitive functions, including language.From research, it has been affirmed that language centre predominantly in the left hemisphere is the Broca’s and Wernicke’s area.
Processing language requires two different sections of your...
