[Abstract] The processing mechanism of human brain language is complex and involves multiple fields such as movement, sensation and cognition, especially the emergence of multilingual system has attracted wide attention of scientists. In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, the technology for studying the language functions of the brain has become increasingly widespread. The technology of fMRI provides an important basis for exploring the possible mechanism of language occurrence and the relationship between bilingualism, multilingualism and neural network. The purpose of this article is to review the recent fMRI findings in the localization of human brain language functional areas, language lateralization, brain function of aphasia, bilingualism and multilingualism.
