Ans.

Language comprehension is a function of cerebrum. Cerebellum coordinates and controls rapid muscular activities such as running, typing, etc. Although it does not initiate such voluntary movements, but it is an important centre for coordinating movements and for controlling posture and balance. Cerebellum’s function is almost exclusively motor; but it is also implicated in some forms of learning.
