第十二章 Language and Brain:Recent decades have witnessed a number of technological advances which have greatly facilitated the investigation of the human brain and language processing. To help you to get the basics of these new areas, this chapter will briefly introduce two sub-branches of linguistics, namely neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics. This first section will provide a brief survey of the brain structure and its function, the methods used in the study of the brain in terms of evidence for lateralization and the different types of language disturbance that result from the brain damage. The second section will introduce some methods employed by psycholinguists to probe language representation and processing in mind, the correspondence of theoretical linguistics and language processing, and Levelt’s model of language production.12.1Neurolinguistics:Section 1 is further divided into three sub-sections:12.1.1 “Structure and Function of the Human Brain”:This part will introduce the structure of the human brain, the function of each part, and the human distinctness in the animal world.12.1.2 “Methods in the Brain Study and Evidence for Lateralization”: This part introduces some methods employed in the study of the brain and the evidence brought about by these methods for lateralization12.1.3 “Aphasia”: By studying the aphasic symptoms, neurologist can identify the major components of language in the brain. There are many different types of aphasia. In this part, we will describe some of the more important ones, that is, Broca’s aphasia and Wernicke’s aphasia.
12.2Psycholinguistics:Section 2 is further divided into seven sub-sections:12.2.1“Psycholinguistics and Field Work”: This part will introduce the study on Spoonerism.12.2.2 and 12.2.3“Psycholinguistics and Experimental Methods” These methods include lexical decision and priming that are used to study how words are organized, accessed and represented in the mind. 12.2.4, 12.2.5 and 12.2.5 “Language Processing”: One of the psycholinguistic models of speech processing, cohort model, is also introduced. This part will answer the questions that whether selectional restrictions of affixes form part of the word-processing system, and whether the representation of multimorphemic words in the mind includes a representation of hierarchical structure. It also talks about a special module for sentence processing. 12.2.7 “Levelt's Model of Speech Production”: This part will present the most influential psycholinguistic model of speech production proposed by Levelt.

SAT[判断题]Left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language and there are specific language areas within the left hemisphere.

[判断题]It has been proved that the right ear shows an advantage for the perception of linguistic signal.

[判断题]Most right-handed individuals have language represented in the left hemisphere and left-handers have language localization in the right hemisphere.

[判断题]In the priming experiment, both prime and target are stimuli.

[判断题]The priming task tells us that aspects of phonology are automatically activated during word reading.
