The cortex:
  • consists of billions of neurons (nerve cells),
  • is the decision-making organ of the body,
The brain:
  • is composed of a right and a left celebral hemisphere , joined by the corpus callosum
  • the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right hemisphere controls the left side. the contralateral brain function
  • different human cognitive abilities and behaviors are localized in specific parts of the brain: localization
  • The surface of the brain: cortex (gray matter)

  • Patients with speech problems gave early researchers the
    • first clues about how the brain is involved with language.
    • The loss of the ability to speak is called "aphasia."
    • The ancient Greeks noticed that brain damage could cause
    aphasia. Centuries later, in 1836, Marc Dax described a
    group of patients who could not speak properly. Dax
    reported that all of these patients had damage to the left
    side of their brain.

    function to one hemisphere of the brain.

    • function words : articles, prepositions, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, and etc.
    • bound morphemes (tense, plural, comparative markers)
    • affects the ability to form sentences with the rules of syntax,
    e.g:
    Doc: Tell me what did you do before you retired?
    Aphasic: uh, uh, uh, puh, par, partender, no.
    Doc: Carpenter?
    Aphasic: (shaking head yes) Carpenter, tuh, tuh, tenty year.
    Doc: Tell me about this picture.
    Aphasic: boy…cook…cookie… took.. cookie

  • fluent speech with good intonation,
  • adherence to the rules of syntax, but language is often semantically incoherent
  • word salad or nonsense,
    • e.g.
    Doc: Do you like it here in Kansas City
    Aphasic: Yes, I am.
    Doc: I’d like you to tell me something about your problem.
    Aphasic: Yes, I ugh can’t hill all of my way. I can’t talk all of the things I
    do, and part of the part I can go alright, but I can’t tell from the other
    people. I usually most of my things. I know what can I talk and know what
    they are but I can’t always come back even though they should be in, and I
    know I should something eely I should know what I’m doing…

  • Broca's area and Wernicke's area are connected by a
    • bundle of nerve fibers called the arcuate fasciculus.
    • Damage to the arcuate fasciculus causes a disorder called
    conduction aphasia.
    • They mispronounce words, but typically do not have
    articulation problems
    • People can understand language, but their speech does not
    make sense and they cannot repeat words.

    e.g. forms such as vaysse and fosh being reported as attempted
    repetitions of the words “base” and “wash.”
