WHAT IS LANGUAGE? WHAT ARE BROCA'S AND WERNICKE'S AREAS?

Languages were created by human beings, and people mention and search about languages by using it. This is reflexiveness of a language. 

For example; linguists do it every time, because they are doing their jobs on this matter.

Sounds in a language can differ from one another in both human and animal languages.

But there are some differences between them.

In human languages, every word is created with different sounds and these sounds are different from each other.

And this every sound can be used many times to form a new meaning in every trying.

In animals’ language, this feature can not be seen. This is called discreteness of language.

Language and the Brain

There is no certain knowledge about coming out languages (it is estimated about 30.000 – 100.000 years ago), but it is sure that they are developed gradually and cumulatively.

They are also changed in centuries because language concept is a living thing.

Language is a cognitive skill and so it is about functioning of the brain.

There are two hemispheres of the brain in terms of its functionality.

There are two main parts of the brain which are specialised in language processing, production and comprehension.

These are Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas on the left hemisphere of the brain. They are discovered first in 19^th century by two physicians.
