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 19th century by two physicians.
