This research suggests that the notion of a localized language faculty described by the minimalist program is not viable. Such a large lateral region of the cerebral cortex is involved in language processing that we cannot even state that the left hemisphere is the language center with much accuracy Bhatnagar et al. 2000 Ojemann 1983 . As Fabbro 2001 reported the right hemisphere is crucially involved in the processing of pragmatic aspects of language use especially during second-language learning p. 214 . Fabbro also noted that when a second language is learned formally and mainly used at school it apparently tends to be more widely represented in the cerebral cortex than the first language whereas if it is acquired informally as usually happens with the first language it is more likely to involve subcortical structures basal ganglia and cerebellum p. 214 . These findings are supported by a variety of studies of children who at birth were diagnosed as having one diseased hemisphere that would lead to death if left alone. In some cases the entire left hemisphere was removed but these children nevertheless developed language function with only minor deficits Day Ulatowska 1979 Dennis Kohn 1975 Dennis Whitaker 1976 Kohn 1980 . The right hemisphere rewired itself to assume responsibility for language processing. Also worth noting is that neurological language function differs from person to person to a significant degree even among monolinguals. When people undergo surgery to remove brain tumors the operation must be performed with the patient awake so that the medical team can map the locations of the various language areas by asking him or her to respond orally to questions. If the language faculty is a bodily organ as Chomsky 1995 2000 argued it seems reasonable to expect it to be located pretty much in the same place for .
