The neural theory of language

The neural theory of language suggests that our ability to understand and produce language is grounded in specific neural networks within the brain. It posits that different aspects of language—such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation—are managed by interconnected regions that work together. These neural pathways develop through experience and learning, enabling us to process language quickly and efficiently. Essentially, language is seen as a brain-based skill, similar to how other complex functions like vision or movement are managed by specialized neural systems, highlighting the biological basis of our linguistic abilities.
