Keywords:
Sentence processing, Comparative analysis, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Neurocognitive mechanisms, Language families, Linguistic diversity, Cross-cultural communication, Cognitive processes.Abstract
This article conducts a comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Sentence Processing Strategies in Different Language Families. Exploring the intricate interplay of syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and neurocognitive mechanisms, this study aims to unveil the diversity in how speakers process and understand sentences across various linguistic landscapes. By examining key linguistic features, we seek to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the cognitive processes involved in language comprehension, shedding light on both universal aspects and culture-specific adaptations.
