*The Power of Language: How Our Brains Process Words*
Language is a fundamental part of human communication, and researchers have made significant progress in understanding how our brains process words. Studies have shown that language is processed in the left hemisphere of the brain, specifically in areas such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area ¹ ².
- *Language Comprehension*: When we listen or read, our brains break down words into parts, recognizing patterns and meanings.
- *Language Production*: Speaking and writing involve multiple brain regions, including the motor cortex, which controls speech muscles.
Interestingly, language is not just a simple memory-retrieval process. Our brains constantly integrate information from context to decipher meaning, making language a dynamic and interpretive process ³.
