What is neurolinguistics?  It is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language.  Neurolinguists studies the physiological mechanisms by which the brain processes information related to language

Interactions with other fields  As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methodology and theory from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuropsychology, and computer science.neurosciencelinguisticscognitive scienceneurobiologycommunication disordersneuropsychologycomputer science

SubfieldDescription Research questions in neurolinguistics Phoneticsthe study of speech sounds how the brain extracts speech sounds from an acoustic signal, how the brain separates speech sounds from background noiseacoustic Phonology the study of how sounds are organized in a language how the phonological system of a particular language is represented in the brain MorphologyMorphology andlexicologylexicology the study of how words are structured and stored in the mental lexiconmental lexicon how the brain stores and accesses words that a person knows Syntax the study of how multiple- word utterances are constructed how the brain combines words into constituents and sentences; how structural and semantic information is used in understanding sentencesconstituents Semantics the study of how meaning is encoded in language Neurolinguistics research is carried out in all the major areas of linguistics

Topics considered  Neurolinguistics research investigates several topics, including where language information is processed, how language processing unfolds over time, how brain structures are related to language acquisition and learning, and how neurophysiology can contribute to speech and language pathology.speech and language pathology

Neurolinguistics takes into account:  Localizations of language processes  Time course of language processes  Language acquisition  Language pathology

Neurolinguistics and language teaching NLP  The NLP model explains how we process information which comes to us from the outside and is based on the work of Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who initially recognized the importance of eye contact and movement in identifying emotional states and how (rather than what) individuals think.

NLP INCLUDES:  It encompasses or is related to 'left / right brain' functions, 'visual / auditory / kinaesthetic' learning styles, multiple intelligence and other areas of research which are attempting to identify modes of learning whilst recognising the importance of the individual learner.
