This document discusses neurolinguistics and the relationship between language and the brain. It describes several key language areas in the brain, including Broca's area, Wernicke's area, the motor cortex, and the arcuate fasciculus. It also discusses the localization view that specific language abilities can be linked to specific brain locations. The document then examines phenomena like slips of the tongue and slips of the ear. It provides definitions and examples of different types of aphasia that can result from brain damage, including Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia. The dichotic listening technique for studying brain asymmetry in auditory processing is also mentioned. Finally, the concept of

2. Neurolinguistics
Definition: Example:
The study of the
relationship between
language and the
brain.
A huge metal rod had
gone through the front
part of Mr. Gage’s
brain

3. Language Areas in the Brain
Definition: Example:
The most important
parts are in areas
above the left ear.
Several areas of the
brain have been
identified with
linguistic skills, such
as producing and
understanding
speech.
Broca’s area
Wernicke’s
area
The motor
cortex
The arcuate fasciculus

4. Language Areas in the Brain
1.Broca’s area or Anterior speech
cortex
The area that responsible for language
production.
E2x.aWmeplren : iucsiknge ’psropaerre sayntoaxr posterior speech
cortex The area that responsible for language
processing.
Example : analyze others' sentences
3. The motor cortex is an area that generally
controls movement of the muscles.
Example : for moving hands, feet, etc.
4. The arcuate fasciculus is a bundle of
nerve fibers.
Example : Connection between Wernicke’s and Broca’s
areas.

5. The Localization View
Definition: Example:
Is specific aspects of
language ability can
be accorded specific
locations in the brain.
To suggest the brain
activity involved in
hearing a word,
understanding it, then
saying it, would follow
a definite pattern.

6. Tongue tips and slips
1. The tip of the tongue Phenomenon
Definition :
Is the failure to retrieve
a word from memory.
Example :
Speakers produced
transcendental
medication but
instead “ meditation”

7. 2. Slips of the Tongue
Definition: Example:
 Is the replacement of
one word with another
that can add up to
something far from
what we meant to say.
 black boxes but we
say “black bloxes” or
a cup of tea but we
say “tup”

8. 3. Slips of the Ear
Definition: Example:
 An error of
misperception in
listening: mistaking a
word or phrase for a
similar-sounding word
or phrase in speech
or conversation.
 He hear great ape but
actually the speaker
said “gray tape”.

9. Definition : Example :
 Aphasia is an
impairment of
language function due
to localized brain
damage that leads to
difficulty in
understanding and/or
producing linguistic
forms.
 The person who
suffer stroke. Those
effects can range
from mild to severe
reduction in the ability
to use language

10. Definition: Example:
 Is characterized by a
substantially reduced
amount of speech,
distorted acticulation
and slow.
 Eliminate inflections
such as -ed .

11. Definition: Example:
 The type of language
disorder that results in
auditory
comprehension.
 When asked to repeat
the word glass he
might say window, or
something contiguous
with glass.

12. Definition: Example:
 Damage to the
arcuate fasciculus
that cause
mispronounce words,
but typically do not
have articulation
problems.
 repetitions of the
words “base” and
“wash.” What the
speaker hears and
understands can’t be
transferred very
successfully.

13. Definition: Example:
 a behavioural
technique for studying
brain asymmetry in
auditory processing.
 through one earphone
comes the syllable ga
or the word dog, and
through the other
earphone at exactly
the same time comes
da or cat.

14. Definition: Example:
 a limited time in
which an event can
occur, usually to result
in some kind of
transformation.
 children learn
languages most
rapidly when young,
and that it is more
difficult when they
become adult.
