Language, which is regarded as one of the distinctive characteristics of humans, has attracted interest of researchers from the field of neuroscience for a long time. Language is a system that has being used to understand and express emotions and thoughts by means of arbitrary symbols. The integrated five main components of language are syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and pragmatics. As a non-invasive method, event-related potentials are one of the electrophysiological methods that reflect information processing and being obtained with high temporal resolution. This talk will focus on language related potentials such as Mismatch Negativity (MMN), N400, and P600. The characteristics of these potentials will be discussed briefly with the cases of language disorders, schizophrenia, aphasia, dementia, bilingualism in the context of language acquisition process. In addition, within this framework, recent findings of our research group on eventrelated potentials modulated by Turkish word semantic processing in healthy participants will be summarized.
