Is language localised to a specific area of the brain?


Essay, 2014

9 Pages, Grade: 1,3


Abstract or Introduction

Language as a means of human communication is an interesting but really wide topic as it can be seen by the many approaches and subcategories of linguistics like Psycho-, Social- or Neurolinguistics. In the following essay I will try to answer the question whether language is localised to a specific part of the brain so I take a neurolinguistical approach. In order to answer the question above, I will make use of well documented linguistic experiments, the findings from examinations of various aphasia patients and of brain imaging scans. After analysing and discussing the different outcomes I will try to come up with a conclusion which should include a satisfying answer to the question.
