Classical Tamil Literature Thirukkural

M. Semmal Syed Meerasa, MBBS,DLO, M.Sc., MD., M.Phil.


Introduction

Language plays a critical and central role in various aspects of human life. Study of the neural mechanisms that control comprehension, production, and acquisition of language is a separate interdisciplinary field in neurophysiology called “Neurolinguistics”.

Sigmund Freud introduced the word “Parapraxis” in 1901 which encompasses the range of mistaken perceptions, actions or speech occurring when the subconscious and the conscious mind work in non-aligned agendas.

Enumerating the scientific wisdom in the ancient Indian literature is a highly potential area for integrating medial and linguistic research

Aim

To conduct a Psychophysiological linguistic medical research by doing a critical analysis of the insights related to “Word processing in human beings” which are embedded in the Kural numbered 139, in the 14th chapter of the Classical Tamil Literature, Thirukkural.
