<P> Much of the language function is processed in several association areas , and there are two well - identified areas that are considered vital for human communication : Wernicke 's area and Broca 's area . These areas are usually located in the dominant hemisphere ( the left hemisphere in 97 % of people ) and are considered the most important areas for language processing . This is why language is considered a localized and lateralized function . </P>
