Certain parts of the brain are responsible for understanding words and sentences. These
brain areas are mainly located in two regions, in the left side of the brain, and are
connected by nerves. Together, these brain regions and their connections form a
network that provides the hardware for language in the brain.

Our psychology courses have a strong emphasis on developing skills in research
methods and statistical analysis, to support our research-led teaching. Linguistics studies
the uses of language in everyday life, the ways in which it varies across society and
evolves over time, and how it is mastered by children.

intrinsic difficulties and extrinsic difficulties. Psycholinguistics also helps to explain the
errors students do in the language learning.
