Broca Language Processing

The Broca speech area is rostral to the inferior edge of the premotor area on the inferior frontal gyrus. It is usually on the left hemisphere and is responsible for the motor aspects of speech. Damage to this area leads to expressive aphasia or dysphasia (p.452)

First, the part of the brain that is responsible for higher forms of thought such as language, the broca’s area which pertains to the production of speech, located in the frontal lobe, is much needed for communication with my friends. When I first seen my friends it was the broca’s area that allowed me to speak smoothly and fluently to them, and as we sat around the table together eating pizza and playing cards it was this part of the brain that indorsed my friends and I to socialize as it helps everyone talk to one another. The Wernicke’s area that is affiliated with the broca’s area is the part of the brain that helps understand the meaning of words.

Have you ever wondered how we speak? How about why our communication is considered a language and other animal’s communication is not considered language? A wide range of beliefs exist on what defines language. Thus, by exploring the definition of language and lexicon, evaluating language’s key features, the four levels of language structure and processing, and the role of language in Cognitive Psychology, an understanding of what language is becomes clear. Let us begin by defining language and a term named lexicon.

The facial and vocal components evolved gradually; leading to autonomous features of speech. The Wernicks area is a region of the brain that is associated with comprehending language. The Broca’s area is the region of the frontal lobe linked to language processing and speech. The IPL is associated with perceptions of facial stimuli and the interpretation of sensory information.

The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast Broca’s and Wernickie’s area of the brain. The approach to identifying parts of the brain that involved language started in 1861 when the brain of a not long ago patient who had an unusual disorder passed away, by a French neurosurgeon, named Paul Broca. (Dubuc 2002) The patient whose name became known as “Tan” was the result of that being the only sound he could make, the syllable tan.

Our ability to partisipate in a conversation is made possible using our temporal lobe and the broca's areas of the brain. The broca's area is responsible for our speech production, comprehending language processing these languages, and helping a person to control facial neurons. These bundles of anatomical fibers can be found in the frontal lobe of the cortex. Composed of the pars triangular and the pars operculas; two primary parts. The pars triangular can be located in the broca's area. This part of the brain is believed to help interpret multiple modes of stimulus. the broca's area is where we organize and respond to verbal conducts. The pars opercularis can be found in the broca's area of the brain; supporting only one stimulus mode. Pars opercularis assist with coordinating the organ's used for producing speech and language because it is located near the area's of the brain that are related to our motor skills.

Language acquiring, in terms of I-language, corresponds to the change of a subject's mind/brain state. To know the language L is for the subject's (H's) mind/brain, initially to be in a state So, to be set to a certain state SL. (4) One task of the brain sciences will be to explain what it is about H's brain (in particular, its language faculty) that corresponds to H's knowing L.

There are two cortical areas required for speech known as the Wernicke area and the Broca area. The Wernicke area is a small part of the brain that helps us to understand language. It is usually found in the back portion of the left temporal lobe. The Broca area also works with speech, but is the motor speech area, whereas the Wernicke area is the sensory speech area. They are connected by the arcuate fasciculus, a bundle of neurons. When reading a book out loud, the words are recognized and comprehended by the Wernicke area, and in the Broca area the words are formulated as it will be spoken.

With that, before making an empirical decision as to which region the neuroscientist will remove, it is important note the other regions of the brain associated therein. D'Ausilio, Craighero, and Fadiga (2012) infer that the frontal cortex of the brain is not only associated with motor speech production, but it is highly implicated with executive functioning, and short-term memory. Aside from housing Wernicke’s area, the left parietal region of the brain is also associated with general sensory processing (including the sensory speech area), gustation, as well as higher order mental functions, often regarded as an association area (DeWitt & Rauschecker, 2013). Association areas of the brain act to provide and receive both afferent and efferent stimuli, insofar as to connect various regions of the brain; a notion which is believed to be linked to higher-order cognitive functioning (Buckner & Krinenen, 2013). Now that the various regions of the brain associated with either both Broca’s and Wernicke’s area have been established, a more accurate logical deduction pertaining to the removal of the former or the latter can be

In order to be able to process the syntactic aspect of language, Broca's region has to be in working order. To fully understand this, I read more about syntax and it's role in language. To sum it up, syntax consists of the rules of grammar, sentence structure, and all the words that are used, and how they are used, in those sentences. When images were done on Broca's region, indications were very apparent that this region is necessary for processing syntactic language, especially the more complex it becomes. It acts as a processor of both receptive and expressive language, in that it helps a person to produce accurate language to communicate and also to make sense of the sentences being spoken to them. Thus, making this region of the brain

There is no other natural type of communication quite like the system of human language. It consists of vocal sounds, written symbols, signs, and gestures. Human beings use these gestures, symbols, and metaphors for many different purposes such as expressing thoughts, providing information, giving instructions, and effectively negotiating amongst one another. Human language can express many things such as thoughts and feelings between two or more people and is the greatest necessity in human communications. In Philosophy in a New Key, Susan Langer writes “The development of language is the history of the gradual accumulation and elaboration of verbal symbols. By means of this phenomenon, man’s whole behavior-pattern has undergone an immense change from the simple biological scheme, and his mentality has expanded to such a degree that it is no longer comparable to the minds of animals.” Although other species are not without their own forms of communication, it is human language that is responsible for the success of the human species, in which makes human language unique to human beings. It is symbolic, intelligent and consists of writing, grammar, and abstract speech. Language is a main element that separates man from

Language is a cognitive function that most of us take for granted. It starts from early on, some say at conception, and it develops in complexity as we get older. It is an essential part of communication and without it its development would be greatly hindered. This natural process requires complex structures and reasoning, the bringing together of sounds and words to develop concrete ideas and thoughts. In this paper we will discuss the components of language and how it relates to cognitive processes.

No matter where you are in the world, you are taught about language. Whether it’s in your home learning your language or in school trying to learn a foreign language. Although while learning language the notion is never really thought about or brought up that the language and way we speak can influence the way we think and interact. Phycologist and neuroscientist alike have spent years, with multiple different tests to see if there is a connection between the various languages that are spoken and the way people not only think but also how they go about their daily lives. She writes to not only her colleagues and neuroscientists but also to anyone in the general public that is genuinely interested in the connection between

The ability of humans to speak and understand language is made possible by one of the most complex and vital organs in the human body, the

The generative grammar stored in the brain that allows a speaker to produce language that other speakers can understand. "All humans are born with the capacity for constructing a Mental Grammar, given linguistic
