Framework proposes neural dynamics can enable rapid language acquisition, indicating neurophysiological markers.
This paper proposes a synergetic model for understanding xenoglossy-like rapid languageemergence, using Haken's synergetics to describe self-organizing neural dynamics that couldenable seemingly spontaneous linguistic abilities. While historical xenoglossy remainsunvalidated, documented phenomena including savant syndrome language emergence,hyperpolyglot rapid acquisition, and post-stroke linguistic access suggest neural mechanismscapable of dramatic linguistic transitions. The model distinguishes responsive, recitative, andpassive forms through order-parameter dynamics, offering falsifiable predictions vianeurophysiological markers and controlled training protocols. This framework provides thefirst rigorous scientific approach to potential xenoglossic phenomena while advancingunderstanding of neural plasticity in language acquisition.
