Anahtar ÖZET Kelimeler: Neurolinguistics is a fresh and profoundly interdisciplinary field, with impacts from psycholinguistics, brain neurolinguistics, science, aphasiology, (psychological) neuroscience, and some more. The degree and point of neurolinguistics aphasiology, is to furnish understudies and researchers with brief outlines of the cutting edge specifically subject regions, neurobiology and to draw in a wide crowd with an interest in the neurobiology of language. The parts don't struggle to give thorough inclusion, but instead present conversations of noticeable inquiries presented by a given theme. Based on a qualitative document analysis technique, this paper clarifies neurolinguistics and the related specific characteristics.

1. INTRODUCTION As the only species that advanced to have a language personnel, people have been shockingly generative in making an assorted exhibit of language frameworks. These frameworks differ in phonology, morphology, punctuation, and composed structures. Before the approach of present day mind imaging procedures, little was thought about how contrasts across dialects are reflected in the mind (Chen, et al., 2009). Neurolinguistics is truly established in the improvement in the nineteenth century of aphasiology, the investigation of phonetic shortfalls (aphasias) happening as the consequence of cerebrum damage. Aphasiology endeavors to associate construction to work by examining the impact of mind wounds on language processing (Caplan, 1987). One of the primary individuals to draw an association between a specific mind region and language preparing was Paul Broca, a French specialist who directed examinations on various people who had talking lacks, and tracked down that the greater part of them had mind harm (or sores) on the left front facing projection, in a space presently known as Broca's space (Schiller, 2021). Phrenologists had made the case in the mid nineteenth century that diverse mind locales did various capacities and that language was generally constrained by the front facing areas of the cerebrum, yet Broca's examination was potentially quick to offer observational proof for such a relationship, and has been portrayed as "age making"and "pivotal" to the fields of neurolinguistics and intellectual science (LaPointe, 2012). Afterward, Carl Wernicke, after whom Wernicke's territory is named, recommended that various spaces of the mind were particular for various semantic errands, with Broca's space taking care of the engine creation of discourse, and Wernicke's region taking care of hear-able discourse 24

Early work in aphasiology additionally profited by the mid-20th century work of Korbinian Brodmann, who "planned" the outside of the cerebrum, sharing it into numbered territories dependent on every space's cytoarchitecture (cell structure) and function; these zones, known as Brodmann zones, are still generally utilized in neuroscience today (Burns & Fahy, 2010).

2. METHODOLOGY For a number of years, documents and formal reports have been among the most basic tools which are utilized in qualitative research studies. Currently, the number of scientific articles in which the document analysis technique is used has increased (Xu & Croft, 2017). It is so remarkable that various documents can be used to complete the deficiency of satisfying data in several documents. Moreover, the quite clear fact is that neither proficient researchers nor others continuously sufficiently use the document analysis technique, in research fields (Bowen, 2009). According to Corbin and Strauss (2008), document analysis is a standardized process that is followed up to analyze or review reports or documents which can be online materials or paper- based. They also claim that document analysis like other analytical techniques used in qualitative research design requires analyzing and clarifying data to achieve commentary, comprehension, and functional information. This study, which is based upon a qualitative research design, profits by document analysis technique owing to the records, documents, or scientific articles that are examined and researched by researchers (Karasar, 2008).

3. LITERATURE REVIEW

THE HUMAN BRAIN The actual seat for the portrayal and handling of language is facilitated in the cerebrum. A side view uncovers three significant divisions in the human mind: the cerebrum, which is the biggest part and establishes what is generally alluded to as the "cerebrum"; the cerebellum, which lies behind the frontal cortex and is basically a movement control focus with associations with the frontal cortex and the spinal rope; the cerebrum stem, which shapes the tail from which the frontal cortex and the cerebellum fledgling and serves to transfer data to and from the spinal string, and to manage indispensable capacities like relaxing. The frontal cortex is separated into two cerebral hemi-circles (left and right) by the longitudinal ﬁssure, associated by a band of cross ﬁbers (corpus callosum) (Tatu, 1998). The outside of the halves of the globe is covered with a layer of dim matter, the cerebral cortex, comprised of nerve cell bodies (neurons), while the internal layer, the white matter, comprises generally of long axons. While dark matter is basically liable for data handling, white matter is answerable for data transmission, conveying nerve electrical signs all through the mind and the remainder of the body (Ungerleider & Haxby, 1994). Clinical and trial proof demonstrates that the cortex is the essential seat of human thinking and discernment, remembering most parts of Considering its unmistakable quality for the human cerebrum, the cortex merits hide their depiction (Bambini, 2012).

AKKURT, İbrahim Onur - Neurolinguistics: A Spectrum of Research EVOLUTION OF BRAIN AND LANGUAGE RELATIONSHIPS Developmental neurolinguistics tends to different wellsprings of data, which incorporate palaeoanthropology (most importantly, information on transformative changes in the size and state of the noggin, and in like manner on size, weight and design of the human mind) and palaeohistory, near and authentic phonetics, hereditary qualities, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Albeit transformative neurolinguistics is a moderately new field of neurolinguistics, its worth is incredible, both from the down to earth and hypothetical, particularly philosophical, perspectives (Wilkins & Wakefield, 1995). In the writing on the advancement of mind instruments that give the language staff, there is a typical view that language began to grow as it were at the point when the human mind grew adequately from both the underlying and practical perspectives (De Zubicaray & Schiller, 2019). Contrasted with other high intellectual capacities, human language has all the earmarks of being a generally ongoing developmental procurement. Indeed, this apparently happened anyplace somewhere in the range of 50,000 and 80,000 years prior when our human predecessors left Africa (Tattersall, 2010; Berwick et al., 2013). In this respect analysts predominantly accentuate two indispensably significant conditions. To start with, creatures, including primates, don't exhibit anything even distantly like the human language workforce or human language. That is, they didn't create language throughout development, and they can't 'learn' or 'obtain' human language throughout their ontogenetic turn of events, even in the ideal conditions made by specialists 'abruptly' on the developmental course of events and has not advanced since (Berwick et al., 2013). It appears to be doubtlessly, nonetheless, that adjustments in the cerebrum structure happened continuously, as per progress in language design and language correspondence and the rise of new necessities for discourse, including anatomical changes in the human vocal harmonies and in the enunciation device, and communicated in language cognizance. Then again, the human limit with respect to language may have advanced on the rear of a generally high improvement of human knowledge and other psychological capacities. This improved language capacity was the response to changing everyday environments, including the improvement of social connections (Ahlsén, 2006; Berwick et al., 2013; Vygotsky, 2012).

4. CONCLUSION In summarizing this concise audit of the present status of neurolinguistics, note that we have just addressed a couple of focal issues. Absolutely the decision of these issues is of a fairly abstract nature. All things considered, contrasted and 'cerebrum and language' or 'formative neurolinguistics', subjects, for example, 'clinical neurolinguistics', 'neurolinguistics of perusing and composing' and 'neurolinguistics of sex contrasts' appear to be excessively explicit. Conversation of these subjects would make the audit introduced here significantly more muddled, requiring huge measures of information from an extraordinary number of logical spaces (every one of which, thusly, requests a nitty gritty clarification). Note that the advancement of the previously mentioned logical regions, alone, has prompted a unimaginable extension of our insight about the apprehensive premise of the language personnel, its turn of events in youth, changes in maturing and the idea of the harm found in different kinds of language disabilities, including formative problems, for example, Explicit Language Impairment, procured issues like vascular aphasia and language hindrances getting from various degenerative issues. When we comprehend the need of forming morphemes through a syntactic induction to make words, tests utilizing words give a proving ground to general speculations of language handling. Neurolinguistic work of the following many years ought to uncover how the cerebrum gets to portrayals of morphemes, consolidates these portrayals into various leveled syntactic designs, and understands these constructions in structure and significance. Hypotheses of morphology in semantics make unequivocal the kinds of information that should be controlled in these calculations, just as particulars about the calculations and their imperatives and point by point marvels that any record of language preparing should clarify. Phonetic morphology, at that point, ought to be a vital component in the neurobiology of language venture.
