Question about irrationality and irrational language <moved>

[timeuser84]

What part of the brain and/or mind does interpreting irrationality or irational language exersize/use?

Hi, I couldn't find anything about this on nets and also went on a teachers forum and still haven't herd back from them for about 1 month or over a month now so I am positng this question here if anyone knows. I also went to a phycology forum that I am a member of to ask and they wouldn't authorize me into there forums after resetting my password since i forgot it. I have no idea why they did that, I don't think I broke any of the forum rules there.

I think a study has been done comparing brain activity, in some way, between word sounds that make sense together and similar sounds that don't form words (gibberish).

Not sure if that's what you want, but I don't remember where I saw that anyway.

I'm afraid irrationality (well, more like just non-rationality, not outright irrationality) is the default setup and it's the rationality which is developed later on and can be assigned to certain areas (the prefrontal cortex, as I recall).

Ps.: I've seen some articles about brain areas related to puns and wordplays. If that specific type of irrationality is a matter of interest then you may do some googlework on that direction...
