Neurolinguistics Approach : A Plausible Paradigm in SLA
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN LINGUISTICS - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Second language acquisition (SLA) can contribute to the changes in the brain. The paper having a holistic perspective towards the relation between brain and language asserts that the impact of SLA on the brain change is poorly studied. Moreover, claiming that the brain change is dynamic implicates the assumption that the plasticity of the brain is not merely determined by age-related factors. In this regard, experience, in general, and SLA, in particular, has a tremendous effect on the brain change. Thus, resting on the claim that SLA is respected as software and contributes to the function of brain, the paper directs the attention towards agrammatism which attracts much attention from the researchers in neurolinguists. The article also tends to cast lights upon our perceptions towards the notion of change in the brain from the neurolinguistic perspective.
