A question I had that came to mind from the readings was centered around the idea of localization. Although some areas of brain may have a specific correlated function, is it possible that all parts are connected in some way whereas to say that if one area of the brain becomes injured, it will affect in some way, the efficiency of other parts of the brain?
I think language is partially a biological phenomenon in the sense that it took a series of events for it to come to be, in the sense of how different cultures and people have developed their own language with the use of sound or sign but also is innate.
The parts of the brain that are most important for the production and comprehension of speech are located in the left side (hemisphere) for most people in regard to language. Wernicke’s area (Posterior superior temporal lobe).
I personally seem to conceptualize and process meaning, by making references to describe something most of the time depending on what it is I am trying to describe. Meaning is the process of describing why or how something is the way that it is.
The first reading, “Brain language”, inspires me to use musical or emotional connection with the language I am learning in order to better retain what I learn while I am immersed in the language.
