The Neurolinguistics

Language plays a main role in human activities. The purpose of the language is to
communicate and bond up with culture. One can represent the world through
language and create better environment. Language learning process was given vital
role for the children to understand and express the ideas.

Neurolinguistic studies the brain mechanism and the performance of the brain in
linguistic competences. The brain plays a main role in controlling motor and sensory
activities and in the process of thinking. Studies regarding development of brain
bring some substantiation for psychological and anatomical way of language
development.

Neurolinguistics is the branch of linguistics that analyzes the language impairments

that follow brain damage in terms of the principles of language structure. The term
“neurolinguistic” is neutral about the linguistic theory it refers to, but any linguistically
based approach to aphasia therapy is based on the principle that language has an
internal organization that can be described by a system of rules.

Many established ideas about neurolinguistics in particular, roles of the traditional

language areas (Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area) in the left hemisphere of the brain
have been challenged and, in some cases, overturned by recent evidence. Probably
the most important recent findings are, that extensive networks involving areas
remote from the traditional language areas are deeply involved in language use, that
the language areas are also involved in the processing of non-language information,
such as some aspects of music that the correlations of particular areas of the brain
with particular language impairments are much poorer than had been thought. This
new information has become available because of major improvements in our ability
to see what is happening in the brain when people speak or listen, and from the
accumulation and analysis of many years of detailed aphasia test data.

The popularity of neuro-linguistic programming or NLP has become widespread

since it started in the 1970s. Its uses include treatment
of phobias and anxiety disorders and improvement of workplace performance or
personal happiness.
NLP uses perceptual, behavioral, and communication techniques to make it easier
for people to change their thoughts and actions. NLP relies on language processing
but should not be confused with natural language processing, which shares the
same acronym.

NLP was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who believed it was
possible to identify the patterns of thoughts and behaviors of successful individuals
and to teach them to others. NLP tries to detect and modify unconscious biases or
limitations of an individual’s map of the world.

People have no competency about the usage of their vocal cords. They are able to
understand the language and know to use the written forms of the language. Most
healthy adults have the language ability which appears in specific areas of the left
hemispheric cortex. A unique branch of linguistics is termed as neuro linguistic. It
trains the physical structure of the mind and it identifies the language creation and
conception of learning. There are many methods to improve second language from
nineteenth century. Some methods are Grammar Translation Method, Direct
Method, Bilingual Method, Deductive Method Communicative Approach, etc. Neuro
Linguistic Programming is the new method used in language learning. It examines
the connection between language and brain. Neuro-Linguistic Programming
proposes skills, strategies and techniques to overwhelm the mental difficulties and
helps to develop the self-learning and self-motivation.

The mind is the most complex organ in the human being. It is in charge of thought,
dialect, feelings, memory, etc. Human mind views the world through the hearing,
vision, touch, development, taste, and smell. Knowledge of the mind and
neurological procedures is necessary to understand about the language learning.
Learning of the mind and its neurophysiology prompts for better understanding of
language development. Improving knowledge about the language is the basic
treatment given in the classroom
