I have Auditory Processing Disorder and I just recently learned that Neurolinguistics is a thing.
Now I just have to know.. how much DO we know about how the brain processes language?
and how has it effected the field of Linguistics itself?
Can we improve Linguistics and create better and better languages that may find global use through Neurolinguistics?
Edit:
I learnt just now that theres a very irritating irony in the word Neurolinguistics in that Neurolinguistics is hardly about linguistics at all and more about identifying speech disorders, which means that using linguistics as part of it isnt poignant and poignancy IS a goal of linguistics.
Doesnt mean that it cant go into that, but if theyre being reductive about a worthwhile field, Im GOING to call them out AND do my own research in what those cowards are trying super hard to avoid.
Theres another scientific field that derails from the terminology.
Cytology or whatever..
They just stick this broad word about cells on a subject that isnt even specifically studying cellular biology.
Ill try to find the exact terminology, I guess..? but yeah.. its very misleading and makes me pretty sad.
to me its like theres either something theyre specifically ignoring about these topics, or theyve thrown their hands up into the air and said "I give up, this is too hard to think about. Lets research an obnoxiously specific part of this broad topic and just use this unfortunately inaccurate label for it anyway."
I have to assume the best answers Ill find could be in the realm of philosophy right now. -shrug-
but people that are dismissive of the value of philosophy under this kind of circumstance, if Im correct here, are very blissfully ignorant.
