<p>newly created page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In [[neurocognitive linguistics]], '''language''' is the system used by people for their [[linguistic activity]], ''i.e.,'' the [[linguistic information system]] of the brain.<br /> <br /> The concept ''language'' is at best a remotely abstract one. Language is several steps removed from reality. You cannot touch, see, or feel a language. Yes, you can hear speech, but that is something different. Should we assume that because we have the word &quot;language&quot;, there must be such things as languages? <br /> <br /> &quot;Language&quot; is just a term of English. It may be interesting to take note of the fact that many of what English calls languages do not have terms equivalent to &quot;language&quot;.<br /> <br /> Such a commonly occurring word as &quot;language&quot; naturally encourages people to form a conceptual object within their belief systems to go with it, and to imagine that this concept must have an existence as a definite object of some kind beyond what is tangibly and observably real. What is commonly called a language is not only unobservable, it is not a physical object of any kind. It can be regarded as a very abstract object or as a logical construct, or as an illusion. Furthermore, belief in its existence as a real object tends to deny the fact that every person's linguistic system -- a network existing in that person's brain -- differs to varying degrees from that of every other person.<br /> <br /> Nevertheless, for the sake of linguistics and in recognition that this field is certainly concerned with languages in some sense of that longtime ill-defined term, neurocognitive linguistics tries to look behind the term and find the tangible and observable reality.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Sources===<br /> <br /> * [http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lngbrain LangBrain]<br /> * Lamb, Sydney M., [http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/subjects/default.aspx&amp;CountryID=1&amp;ImprintID=2&amp;BookID=117093 Language and Reality: Selected Writings of Sydney Lamb], Continuum, 2004.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:DICT]]<br /> [[Category:En]]<br /> [[Category:Grammar]]</div>
