Wernicke's area, located in the posterior superior temporal gyrus, is the primary brain region involved in language comprehension, including understanding spoken and written language.

Broca's area, located in the posterior inferior frontal gyrus, is primarily responsible for generating speech, including the planning and execution of motor movements necessary for speaking.

The arcuate fasciculus is a white matter tract that connects Broca's area in the frontal lobe to Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe, facilitating communication between these two language centers.

The mental lexicon is the neural representation of words and concepts stored in the brain, including their meanings, pronunciations, and associations.

The inferior frontal gyrus, particularly the pars triangularis and pars opercularis, is involved in processing the meaning of words and sentences, including their semantic and syntactic properties.

The interactionist theory suggests that language acquisition in children is influenced by both innate predispositions and environmental factors, including exposure to language and social interactions.

The limbic system, including structures like the amygdala and hippocampus, is involved in processing the emotional and prosodic aspects of language, such as tone, intonation, and emotional content.

Code-mixing refers to the phenomenon where bilingual individuals blend elements from both languages in their speech or writing, often occurring in informal settings or when expressing certain concepts that are more easily conveyed in one language than the other.

The angular gyrus, located at the junction of the parietal and temporal lobes, is involved in processing the grammatical structure of language, including syntax and morphology.

The grammar network is the neural representation of the rules and patterns of a language, including its syntax and morphology, stored in the brain.

The superior temporal gyrus, particularly the posterior superior temporal gyrus, is involved in processing the phonological aspects of language, including perceiving and producing speech sounds.

The phonological map is the neural representation of the sounds and pronunciations of a language, including the inventory of phonemes and their combinations.

The prefrontal cortex, particularly the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, is involved in processing the meaning of words and sentences in a context-dependent manner, integrating information from different sources to derive meaning.

Cross-linguistic influence refers to the phenomenon where bilingual individuals show interference from one language to another during language processing, such as using words or grammatical structures from one language in the other.

The prefrontal cortex, particularly the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, is involved in processing the cultural and social aspects of language, such as idioms, proverbs, and understanding the intentions and beliefs of others.
