Connecting sound and meaning in words
Rated Jul 26 2006 • 8 reviews • linguistics, words • cornell.edu
The sound of a word tells us something about how it is used
'Risk' as noun or verb
"For more than 100 years the standard view among traditional language theorists was that, with the exception of onomatopoeia like 'fizz' and 'beep', the sound of a word tells us nothing about how it is used. This seemingly arbitrary relationship between words and their meaning in human language is hailed as singular to our species.
A new Cornell study takes that view to task.
'What we have shown is that the sound of a word can tell us something about how it is used,' said Morten Christiansen, associate professor of psychology at Cornell. 'Specifically, it tells us whether the word is used as a noun or as a verb, and this relationship affects how we process such words.'"
This is an interesting read - I'm too hot to think at the moment though, so will return to this later.

How bilingual brains switch between tongues
Location of caudate
"The next time you listen to the Beatles sing "Michelle" [nutmeg - not out of choice!] you can thank an area of your brain called the left caudate. It could be what enables you to follow the lyrics as they switch from English to French."
Brain scans combined with behavioural tests have shown that the left caudate becomes more active as people shift from thinking in one language to another. This area is thought to influence how we articulate words in association with another brain structure known as the thalamus.
"The left caudate's role in language processing is further backed up by the case of a trilingual woman with a damaged caudate region, who involuntarily switched between three different languages while speaking, say the researchers."
It is not yet known if the results will scale up to more complex sentence processing.
