JRR Tolkien invented two languages ​​(Elvish)Quenya and Sinadrin) When writing Lord of the rings Triple. Star Trek Clingonthe Avatar Films for her na’viAnd game of thrones It includes two buildings, or Conlangs: Dothraki and High Valerian. There are even hard -line fans who have become very mastered in those languages ​​that were invented. Conlangs appears to stimulate the same parts of the brain as their original tongues, according to paper It was published in the facts of the National Academy of Sciences.

With the neuroscientist Evelina Fedorenko previously The smell studies remain on how the brain responds to the stimuli that share specific language features – Musaik, gestures, facial expressions, and computer programming languages ​​such as Python. Nothing seems to be involved in the language processing areas in the brain. My curiosity about what makes the natural language unique, Fedorenko et al. It turned into Conlangs. They organized a weekend conference that included creators in Kunlang as speakers and invited the people who were good at them in Esberno, Clingon, Naevi, Dotherki, and the Upper Valerian to participate. They wiped 44 Kunlang’s speakers with functional magnetic resonance while listening to the camel in both the chosen Konland and their original tongue, which leads the non -linguistic tasks as a control element.

Results: Language areas themselves were illuminated regardless of whether they were speaking in the chosen Conlang or the original natural language. This group helped to determine that linguistic responses seem to be partially driven by how to transmit meaning around the inner and external world – objects, characteristics of things, events, etc., in contrast to that, is very symbolic and abstract, separate from the “real” real world that we experience. The next group plans to study how the brain responds to different Conlang LouieIt was created in the 1990s, to learn more about the features of the language that activates the brain language centers.
