What is the relationship between brain and language?

Name: Andrea García

The language, system of symbols or codes which transmit ideas or knowledge and help the
human being in his communication process. For its part, the brain, considered a control
tower, is responsible for regulating and centralizing the activity of the nervous system and
is the main body responsible for language in human beings. The brain is divided into
hemispheres and areas, which have their functions and each of them is complex. In the
temporal lobe of the dominant hemisphere, we find Wernicke's area, which is known as the
language comprehension area; This is why we can say that, without a brain (or in the case
of having damage to it), language wouldn't have possible.

Since the human being is child, the process of language acquisition begins, so that this is
possible, the infant begins with imitation and all the information around him, which he
begins to imitate, is stored in the brain. After the imitation process and the retention
process, the child does what is the association process; the information that he already has
in the brain and the new acquired begin to be related and this is how the language process
begins, for example, when the child begins to relate to the word water, which his mother
repeats to him every time he offers, with thirst, in this way is how he communicates to his
mother when he requires it, this is known as a communication process through the use of
acquired language.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, damage to the brain or lesions in it can be an
impediment to the proper development of language; As is known, brain injuries produce
speech, voice or comprehension problems, that is, all functions related to language and
communication. For example, aphasia, this disorder is caused by a brain injury that causes
the person to be unable to form sentences that make sense and have impaired
understanding.

In conclusion, the relationship between the brain and language could be said to be
dependent on language, without the brain, what we know as language would not exist and,
furthermore, damage to this area could be and is the trigger of language problems in
humans.
