DECODING THE NEUROLINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE: INSIGHTS INTO LANGUAGE PROCESSING IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
Keywords:
neurolinguistics, language processing, brain mechanisms, neural networks, cognitive neuroscience, speech perception, syntactic parsing, semantic comprehension, neuroimaging, language and the brain.Abstract
Understanding how the human brain processes language has been a longstanding pursuit in neuroscience and linguistics. This article delves into the neurolinguistic landscape, unraveling the intricate mechanisms and neural networks that underlie language processing. From speech perception to syntactic parsing and semantic comprehension, we explore the cognitive architecture that transforms linguistic input into meaningful communication. Drawing on neuroimaging studies, neural mapping, and cognitive neuroscience, this article provides insights into the dynamic interplay between language and the human brain.
