b. Language acquisition and language learning are processed in two different ways in the brain.
c. Language learning and acquisition happen in exactly the same ways in the brain.

Answer 1

From a neurolinguistic perspective of language acquisition, it is true that language acquisition and language learning are processed in two different ways in the brain.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The process of language learning can be deemed to be more indepth and complex than the process of language acquisition.
• When the brain is simply acquiring a new language, it does not associate the language with the values or the theories already inculcated.
• This is why the brain processes the two procedures in two distinct ways.
