Neurological peculiarities of the Arabic language
https://doi.org/10.31162/2618-9569-2017-10-2-110-124
Abstract
The article shed light on major peculiarities of the Arabic language that help to distinguish it from most of the languages and are likely to predetermine its specific influence on brain tructure and mental function of those who learn it. The distance between the two subtypes of the Arabic language, namely literary and spoken, was estimated as well.
