A Review on Brain Mechanisms for Language Acquisition and Comprehension

TL;DR

This review synthesizes current understanding of brain mechanisms involved in language acquisition and comprehension, highlighting neural regions, experimental techniques, and analysis methods across different language types.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of neural correlates, experimental detection techniques, and analysis tools for language acquisition and comprehension.

Findings

Different types of acquisition involve distinct brain regions.

Language comprehension activates various brain areas depending on semantics and syntax.

Various neuroimaging and analysis techniques are used to study language processing.

Abstract

This paper reviews the main perspectives of language acquisition and language comprehension. In language acquisition, we have reviewed the different types of language acquisitions like first language acquisition, second language acquisition, sign language acquisition and skill acquisition. The experimental techniques for neurolinguistic acquisition detection is also discussed. The findings of experiments for acquisition detection is also discussed, it includes the region of brain activated after acquisition. Findings shows that the different types of acquisition involve different regions of the brain. In language comprehension, native language comprehension and bilingual's comprehension has been considered. Comprehension involve different brain regions for different sentence or word comprehension depending upon their semantic and syntax. The different fMRIEEG analysis techniques (statistical or graph theoretical) are also discoursed in our review. Tools for neurolinguistics computations are also discussed.
