Hi, there's a =lot= that's been done in psycholinguistics, including
experimental work in Neuroscience. Online, you might, for instance, try
browsing the MIT web site for leads.
Just =don't= get caught up in the view that "language is everything". It's
definitely "just" a relatively-small "add-on" to the overall whole... it's
main purpose is force-recruitment and multiplication via group-formation
and concerted action. As such, it's only distantly correlated to
"thought". Keep this straight and you'll be OK. Cheers, ken collins
