Brain language processing from the perspective of neuroscience and psycholinguistics

Abstract:

The study seeks to identify how the brain processes language from the perspective of Neuroscience and Psycholinguistics. The approach was made from a qualitative paradigm and the research design was based on theory, to understand this process in the brain and the relationship between concepts discussed by Neuroscience and Psycholinguistics, with a descriptive-analytical scope analyzing four high-impact investigations. The results highlighted the images of the brain that were taken in these investigations by means of a functional magnetic resonance imaging, in which it identifies the activation of brain areas that intervene in the assigned language tasks. Also, it identifies how the hemispheres act in the development of language, to know the functions they perform. Finally, it is concluded that Broca’s area is centered on the grammatical system and Wernicke’s area is centered on a lexical and semantic system from the point of view of Neuroscience, while, from Psycholinguistics, it is identified that the left hemisphere it has the ability to discriminate the important characteristics to segment the significant parts. In addition, the right hemisphere focuses on the perception of different auditory and visual stimuli for the production of language.
