dc.description.abstractIt is traditionally considered that there is a correspondence between language and the mind. That is, languageis taken to be a mirror of the mind. Another view claims that language is the mind's most essential component.It is difficult to separate language, so closely linked with the mind, from the concept of self. This study aims toclarify the relationship between language and the self. The human self and language are constructed through atemporal process. Therefore, the concepts of self and language need to be evaluated developmentally. The purposeof this study is to shed light on the relationship between language and self through aphasia. This relationship ispresented by emphasizing the key role language plays in a person's understanding of the world, themselves, andothers. The world, in which people name objects and represent events through language, is defined both as a realmof existence in which humans reside and as a network of relationships that allows connection with others. Languageis considered a comprehensive subject that encompasses syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The self is viewed asa concept that can be understood within the framework of consciousness, self-consciousness, and social relation.The study demonstrates a parallel between the three components of language and those of the self. By examiningthe effects of aphasia on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, the study demonstrates how this disorder negatively impacts a person's awareness of the world, their own self, and their relationships with others. This study attemptedto answer crucial questions such as the role of language in experiencing the world, understanding oneself, andrelating to others, as well as how the loss of language in aphasia affects the self.
