What is neurolinguistics?

It is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension,

production, and acquisition of language.

Neurolinguists studies the physiological mechanisms by which the brain processes

information related to language

Interactions with other fields

As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methodology and theory from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuropsychology, and computer science.

Subfield DescriptionResearch questions in

neurolinguistics

Phonetics the study of speech sounds

how the brain extracts speech sounds from an acoustic signal, how the brain separates speech sounds from background noise

Phonologythe study of how sounds are organized in a language

how the phonological system of a particular language is represented in the brain

Morphology andlexicologythe study of how words are structured and stored in the mental lexicon

how the brain stores and accesses words that a person knows

Syntaxthe study of how multiple-word utterances are constructed

how the brain combines words into constituents and sentences; how structural and semantic information is used in understanding sentencesSemantics

the study of how meaning is encoded in language

Neurolinguistics research is carried out in all the major areas of linguistics

Topics considered

Neurolinguistics research investigates several topics, including

where language information is processed, how language processing

unfolds over time, how brain structures are related to language acquisition and learning, and how

neurophysiology can contribute to speech and language pathology.

Neurolinguistics takes into account:

Localizations of language processes

Time course of language processes

Language acquisition

Language pathology

Neurolinguistics and language teaching NLP

The NLP model explains how we process information which comes to us from the outside and is based on

the work of Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who initially

recognized the importance of eye contact and movement in identifying

emotional states and how (rather than what) individuals think.

NLP INCLUDES:

It encompasses or is related to 'left / right brain' functions, 'visual /

auditory / kinaesthetic' learning styles, multiple intelligence and other

areas of research which are attempting to identify modes of learning whilst recognising the

importance of the individual learner.
