CHAPTER 2: NEUROLINGUISTICS - Rethinking Language In The Flesh

[Audio] Good morning everyone. Today I'm here to discuss Neurolinguistics. We will be exploring the relationship between language processes and the brain. We'll look at the combined implications of neuroscience cognitive linguistics and sociocultural perspectives to gain greater insight into the assessment of learning and academic performance. Let's begin!.

[Audio] Neurolinguistics is the science of how the brain and language interact. We will explore the biological components of the brain related to language such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area as well as disorders including Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia their symptoms and causes. Additionally we will analyze recent research trends theories of embodied cognition and the differences between deafness aphasias and cognitive disabilities. Finally we will consider the trend of reducing language to an internal and intrapersonal process and examine the role of epigenetics in language and development..

[Audio] Neurolinguistics is the scientific study of the relationship between language and the brain. We will explore the major ideas of this field including the intricate connection between brain structures and language functions the complexity of language disorders and their neurological causes the significance of recent research in neurolinguistics various theoretical approaches that shape our understanding of language acquisition and processing and the issues encountered by individuals with language-related impairments and disabilities. A better understanding of the link between language and the brain can help us gain insight into our students' learning and academic performance..

[Audio] Understanding how the brain processes language is essential for educators. Neurolinguistics the study of the brain's language processing can provide insight into how students learn and how best to help them. This includes analyzing individual differences considering language development in children being aware of language disorders and learning new strategies for teaching vocabulary. With this knowledge educators can create a better learning environment and equip their students for success..

[Audio] Neurolinguistics allows us to investigate more deeply how the human brain handles language. By combining what we learn from the field of neurolinguistics with our teaching practices we can explore more efficient language learning methods. An example of this is using explicit instruction together with sufficient practice and feedback to aid in the learning of grammar. Neurolinguistic studies also suggest that immersion activities comprehensible input and communication chances are advantageous when teaching a second language. Furthermore neurolinguistic studies are providing foundations for the developments of educational technologies which can be used to capture students' attention and improve language learning. By taking advantage of the knowledge we now possess on neurolinguistics we can develop an educational environment that enables students to develop their language abilities and deepen their understanding of language..

[Audio] We are examining words that are related to language and cognition in this slide. These span from Language and Emotion to Bilingualism and Learning with each word symbolizing distinct elements of the connection between language and cognition. For illustration language is essential for deciphering and expressing emotion while attentiveness and development are essential factors in language acquisition. Similarly culture memory and perception all interact closely with the advancement of language and cognition..

[Audio] Begin by discussing the relationship between language and the brain. We know that language processing is largely associated with various brain regions in the left hemisphere such as Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Additionally social aspects like language exposure and social interactions can influence language acquisition and use. Now think of the ways in which language is regulated by the brain and how language use might be shaped by the environment. What associations can you make between language and the brain? Share your thoughts and ideas with the group..

[Audio] Had a great time delving into the intricate link between neuroscience language and cognition. We examined the differences between biological factors such as brain composition and functions as well as the impact of societal elements like language diversity and cultural values. Examining the connection of these two will give us a better overview of how language and cognition are formed. I trust this presentation has been both stimulating and inspiring. Appreciate your investing your time to attend..
