This article discusses the phenomenon from psycholinguistic point of view by examining the differences from the anatomy of the brain. By collecting data and information from other researches and literatures, this article wants to see the differences between men’s and women’s brains and how the brain size and shape can affect their language skill in terms of language storage.
