My mother was never very good at making him change his mind,but always saw to it that there was some other practical solution,usually involving a lot of hard work on her part

Psycholinguistic analysis often relates psychological mechanisms of language use with the human brain. The human brain consists of the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.The right hemisphere is particularly involved in interpretation of visual- spatial information,perception of nonlinguistic sounds,holistic reasoning,visual and spatial skills, recognition of patterns,and recognition of musical melodies. The left hemisphere is responsible for the processing of new linguistic information and is thus involved in language and speech,analytic reasoning,temporal ordering,reading,writing,calculation,and associative thought

the interactive relationship between language and thinking Language reflects thinking and thinking is shaped by language. Precise thinking leads to clear and precise language; sloppy use of language (vague,general,indistinct, imprecise,foolish,inaccurate)leads to sloppy thinking. Ambiguity in language can lead to misunderstanding. e.g.:Write a short essay on the topic given below in Chinese. Aristotle said logical fallacies arise from the use of ambiguous words and phrases.-----Thinking is ensnared in words
