    Neurolinguistics studies the neural mechanisms in the human brain involved in language comprehension, production, and acquisition. It aims to understand how language is represented in the brain and what happens neurologically when we use language. Sociolinguistics examines how social and cultural factors influence language use and how language influences society. It investigates how people from different social identities speak differently in various situations. Language acquisition refers to how humans develop the ability to understand and use language, primarily focusing on a child's acquisition of their native tongue from infancy.

    Neurolinguistics, Sociolinguistics, and Language Acquisition

    What is Neurolinguistics?
    Neurolinguistics is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the
    comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. Meaning to say, it has something to
    do with the study of how language is represented in the brain: that is, how and where our
    brains store our knowledge of the language (or languages) that we speak, understand, read,
    and write, what happens in our brains as we acquire that knowledge, and what happens as we
    use it in our everyday lives.

    Specifically, it answers to the following questions: What about our brains which make human
    language possible – why is our communication system so different from that of other animals?
    Does language use the same kind of neural computation as other cognitive systems, such as
    music or mathematics? Where in your brain is a word that you've learned? How does a word
    ‘come to mind’ when you need it (and why does it sometimes not come to you?)

    Neurolinguistics as a discipline

     Interaction with other fields

    Neurolinguistics is closely related to the field of psycholinguistics, which seeks to elucidate the
    cognitive mechanisms of language by employing the traditional techniques of experimental
    psychology; today, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic theories often inform one another, and
    there is much collaboration between the two fields.uistic deficits (aphasias) occurring as the
    result of brain damage.

    Neurolinguistics as an interdisciplinary field

    Neurolinguistics draws methods and theories from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics,
    cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuropsychology, and computer
    science.

    What is Sociolinguistics?
    Sociolinguistics has become an increasingly important and popular field of study, as certain
    cultures around the world expand their communication base and intergroup and interpersonal
    relations take on escalating significance. Anyway, Sociolinguistics is the descriptive study of the
    effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on
    the way language is used, and the effects of language use on society. It means that
    sociolinguistics is concerned with the language in social and cultural context, especially how
    people with different social identities (e.g. gender, age, race, ethnicity, class) speak and how
    their speech changes in different situations. The basic notion underlying sociolinguistics is quite
    simple: Language use symbolically represents fundamental dimensions of social behavior and
    human interaction. The notion is simple, but the ways in which language reflects behavior can
    often be complex and subtle. Furthermore, the relationship between language and society
    affects a wide range of encounters--from broadly based international relations to narrowly
    defined interpersonal relationships.

    Example:

    Sociolinguists might investigate language attitudes among large populations on a national level,
    such as those exhibited in the US with respect to the English-only amendment--the legislative
    proposal to make English the 'official' language of the US. Similarly, we might study the status
    of French and English in Canada or the status of national and vernacular languages in the
    developing nations of the world as symbols of fundamental social relations among cultures and
    nationalities. In considering language as a social institution, sociolinguists often use sociological
    techniques involving data from questionnaires and summary statistical data, along with
    information from direct observation.

    What is Language Acquisition?


     It is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend
    language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate.
     Language acquisition is one of the quintessential human traits; because primarily, non-
    humans do not communicate by using language. Secondly, language acquisition usually
    refers to first-language acquisition, which studies infants' acquisition of their native
    language. This is distinguished from second-language acquisition, which deals with the
    acquisition (in both children and adults) of additional languages.
     It is also important to remember that as children grow, their language is also increasing.
