Linguistics

For pure linguistics, language is a system of symbols with certain syntactic, semantic, and phonological features codified in grammar.

Psycholinguistics

Psycholinguistics goes to the heart of what we do with language. It provides insights into how we assemble our own speech and writing and how we understand that of others; into how we store and use vocabulary; into how we manage to acquire a language in the first place; and into how language can fail us.

Neurolinguistics

Neurolinguistics is a study which interests in abstract knowledge and comprehension system of language in brain.

Brain Takes Control in Speech

AphasialogyAphasiology is the particular field of study of aphasias in

neurolinguistics that is based on the clinical evidences collected by the neurologists through different case studies of patients with linguistic disorder resulting from brain injury.

Various kinds of impairment of linguistic functions could be aphasia: (total loss) dysphasia, (partial loss) alexia,(loss of reading) agraphia,(loss of writing) dysgraphia,(some degree of loss of writing) dyslexia,(some degree of loss of reading) agnosia,(loss of knowledge) anarthria, apraxia, (articulatory disorder) dysarthria and dyspraxia (some degree of articulatory disorder).

The Relation of Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics

Language disorder is not necessarily neurological, it may also be psychological, and hence, psycholinguistics must go hand in hand with neurolinguistics to study the various linguistics states present among the patients.

The psycholinguistic abilities that are commonly tested by the neurolinguists in the study of aphasia such as: spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, auditory repetition, spontaneous writing, reading comprehension, copying, writing to dictation, reading aloud, confrontation naming, and written word to object matching.

The Future Research

• Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics have a big relation.

• For the future researcher, it can be a great chance to compose research deals with two terms of these field of studies.

• As the linguist, we can contribute in others field, medical for example, to help others which needing.
