Language disorders.
Aphasia.
Impairment of language function due to brain damage that produces difficulties in understanding and/or producing language forms (Yule, 2017).
Wernicke's aphasia.
People suffering from this problem can speak easily. However, the words that they say do not make any sense (Lingraphica, 2019c).
Conduction aphasia.
It is the inability to repeat words, phrases, or sentences (Lingraphica, 2019b). People are able to speak and understand spoken messages but they cannot repeat words.
Broca's aphasia.
People with this disorder know what they want to say but they are unable to produce the words or sentences (Lingraphica, 2019a).
Dichotic listening.
An experimental technique to test the side of the brain that is dominant for language.
In this process, the language received through the left ear is sent to the right hemisphere. Then, the language received through the right ear will go to the left hemisphere.
This experiment has demonstrated that the left brain specializes in language sounds such as recognizing the smaller details of the words, sounds, and phrase structures while the right brain identifies more general structures in language and experience.
The critical period.
It is the period during childhood when the human brain can learn a particular language.

Her case demonstrated that the notion of language cannot be acquired at all after the critical period, and the human capacity for language is not limited to only one or two specific areas of the brain (Yule, 2017).
