We were discussing Broca's and Wernicke's areas last night in Intro. and how damage to Broca's area means the person has trouble with speaking a language and damage to Wernicke's area means the person has trouble understanding spoken language. I was under the impression that with "language" we are talking about English, Spanish, French, etc., but a student asked if the person with the damage to Broca's area can make up their own sort of language as a way to communicate. Also, with Wernicke's area can the person relearn a language to understand what is being said to him/her? I guess it all comes down to the actual definition of language.
