Theories of language processing

Theories of language processing explore how our brains understand and produce language. Some suggest that language is processed in specific brain areas dedicated to different tasks, like understanding words or grammar. Others propose that language involves more generalized brain functions, where multiple regions work together. Some theories emphasize that language involves both recognizing patterns (like sounds and words) and understanding context. Overall, these theories aim to explain how we transform spoken or written language into meaningful thoughts and how we communicate effectively.
