How brains process Language - by @dcrypto

Everyone has their own language. There are about seven thousand plus languages around the world as far as I am concerned, some of which are very popular like English, Spanish and French, and some of them are not so popular, and some are endangered. Whatever the language is our brain processes in a very unique way, which has become an appealing topic to study for some researchers at the University of Zurich.

We unknowingly or unconsciously speak some words differently and may introduce some sounds when we need to pronounce some specific words. Moreover, we kind of give some little pauses before a particular part of speech unknowingly. So, the researchers find these key effects are used to comprehend how our brain processes language. The researchers pointed to specific areas where humans find difficulty in pronouncing. These pausing and giving “uhm and arh” are considered as “slow-down effects” by a team of researchers from the University of Amsterdam and from the University of Zurich.

These researchers named Frank Seifart, and Prof. Balthasar Bickel and their team analysed a significant number of recordings say thousands of recordings from linguistically and culturally diverse people all over the world. The findings provided them with a result that says people are using slow-down effects more before noun rather than verbs or any other part of speech.

" "The reason is that nouns are more difficult to plan because they're usually only used when they represent new information." Otherwise, they are replaced with pronouns (e.g., "she") or omitted, as in the following example: "My friend came back. She (my friend) took a seat" or "My friend came back and took a seat." No such replacement principles apply to verbs -- they are generally used regardless of whether they represent new or old information.”

Researchers want to widen the study and advised future neuroscience researchers to study using different languages to understand and fathom the correct processing of human brain during language processing. Furthermore, they mentioned future neuroscience researchers should study not only popular languages but also endangered ones. This helps to understand how grammar changed over a period of time and why omissions have been taken place.
