Language processing vs. understanding

Language processing refers to how we handle the form of language—recognizing words, grammar, and sentence structure. In contrast, language understanding involves interpreting the meaning, including context, intention, and implied messages.

For example, a learner might process the sentence “It’s cold in here” by recognizing its grammar, but understanding it means realizing it could be a request to close a window.

In short:
👉 Processing = structure
👉 Understanding = meaning
