Three models of human language

Neurosurgery

Abstract

Three models of human language processing can be discerned in contemporary neurobiology: the Wernicke-Broca model, primarily derived from studies of stroke and other brain lesions; the model developed by Dr. George Ojemann from electrical stimulation mapping of the cerebral cortex; and the linguistic model, evolved from Noam Chomsky's linguistic theories. The Wernicke-Broca model employs a posterior-sensory anterior-motor conception of brain language processing that is substantially different from the more modular conception developed from electrical stimulation mapping. The linguistic model attempts to explain language in terms of hierarchical mental function.
