in a language, a system of rules that enables us to communicate with and understand others
grammar

language acquisition
beginning at about 4 months, the stage of speech development in which the infant spontaneously utters various sounds at first unrelated to the household language
babbling stage
the stage in speech development, from about age 1 to 2, during which a child speaks mostly in single words

words influence but do not determine thinking. Language and thought mutually influence one another.
linguistic influence
impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area (impairing understanding).

controls language reception - a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe
Wernicke's area
Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech.
