Language as a means of implementing the speech process is an independent system with its own structure. In the context of our research, the concept of M.I. Zhynkin (1958) on the grid distribution of information in the grammatical space, which explains the mechanism of perception and awareness of speech. It is important for us to conclude that the sooner a direct connection is formed between the conceptual system and the basal ganglia, the better the child's awareness, assimilation and use of grammatical categories. To organize the normal functioning of speech requires a complex coordinated work of millions of neural elements of the brain, which are included in its various parts. It is proved that after ten years the ability to develop neural networks necessary for the construction of speech centers it disappears. The problem of forming grammatically correct speech in preschool children can be solved quickly and efficiently if you intensify the interaction of different analyzers. It is proved that the sensory information complex consists of auditory, visual and tactile images, which, complementing, amplifying each other, increase the number of useful signals, expand the speech space, which, in turn, limits the choice of adequate speech pattern during acquisition, perception and oral awareness. Children's learning of the elements of the grammatical system of language is influenced by two main factors, namely: the dependence on the simplicity or complexity of the language phenomenon and the degree of its communicative significance. The formation of grammatically correct speech (morphology, word formation, syntax) is based on a certain cognitive development of the child.

Linguistics as the study of the nature of languages has a visible impact on various fields such as education, language teaching, philosophy, computer science, and anthropology. However, the nature of language is a broad idea, which makes it hard to give a clear, simple definition. One of the most fundamental assumptions is the rule-governed feature of the human language interrelated with pronunciation, word formation, and grammatical construction. The aim of this chapter is to discuss how the rules of the language have an impact on foreign language learning process and how it affects foreign language learners' storing and processing the language in the brain. In doing so, some predetermined samples of lexical items and formal structures of language are analyzed in terms of the foreign language learners' cognition as prospective teachers of English in the teacher training process.

It is only within quite recent times that anatomists have realized that the comparisons with which they help out their descriptions of parts of the brain are likely to become fixed as the names of the parts. Even in the beginning of this century—indeed the custom has not altogether ceased even yet—they quoted the illustrations used by their predecessors, to replace them at once by new ones, if any, more apposite, occurred to them, without recognising the risk of confusion likely to arise from the Multiplicity of names. There is a curious alternation between the use of the simile as an unalterable symbol and as an aid to description. In other words, we strike in quite recent anatomical strata upon stages in word-formation which are deep down in the history of other sciences. Galen converted illustrations into cognomens for most of the bones, muscles, and other parts of the body, but the anatomists of the 17th and 18th centuries, when writing of the parts of the brain, considered it as immaterial whether or not they used the same symbols or illustrations as their predecessors; they did not regard its terminology as in any degree fixed, and if a new illustration occurred to them which conveyed a better idea of the form of the part than any as yet current, by all means let posterity make use of it!.
