Language and the Brain

APPLIED LINGUISTICS

[email protected]

LET’S THINK ABOUT THIS…

 We use 100% of our brain for daily life…

 Quiz “fun facts”

 A child’s brain

 An adult’s brain

 A bilingual brain

Natural

 Functional

We discover language use through language impairments  The study of the relationship between language and the brain is called neurolinguistics.

 See Yule, p. 157 Mr Gage

The brain and the bilingual brain…

 Neuroscience has given us the tools to discover the areas in the brain associated with language.

THE HEMISPHERES Amazing stories….link  (^) LEFT HEMISPHERE  (^) ANTERIOR SPEECH CORTEX  (^) BROCA, 1860  (^) Articulating

 LEFT HEMISPHERE
 POSTERIOR SPEECH
CORTEX
 WERNICKE, 1870

 (^) Understanding

LOCALIZATION VIEW

An oversimplified version of language

processing….

 What really happens is much more complex

 And is challenging to create physical

evidence

LINGUISTIC PROCESSES IN THE BRAIN

 “Because we have no direct access, we

generally have to rely on what we can

discover through indirect methods. Most of

these methods involve attempts to work out

how the system is working from clues picked

up when the system has problems or

malfunctions” (Yule, p. 160).

 However, more and more studies are using

healthy brains to make generalizations ….

about learning, memory and language

development.

Slips of the tongue, slips of the brain  (^) ENCODING  (^) Malpropisms  (^) We need a few laughs to break up the monogamy.  (^) WORD CHOICE  (^) Spoonerisms  (^) A dog of bag food  (^) PHONEMIC ALTERING

The good news

 When we make slips of the tongue, our listeners cooperate and make an attempt to understand us even anticipating what we are about to say….

Know this difference

 (^) Malpropism  (^) Word choice  (^) semantic level  (^) Spoonerism  (^) Sound choice (exchange)  (^) Phonemic level

William Spooner

Renowned for his tongue-slips.

Most of the slips attributed to him involve the

interchange of two initial sounds

 Three cheers for our queer old dean!
