#sentencecomprehension

Isn’t it amazing how the human brain comprehends a sentence in full rather than word by word?

I mean, if someone says “I’m going out”.  You immediately grasp that someone is departing for another location.  You don’t separately consider “I’m” (designating the person speaking) “going” (moving toward some action) “out” (someplace other than here - and even more interesting is that we understand “out” in this context because, as we know, that stand alone word has many other meanings as well).  Our brain comprehends it all as one thought.

I assume this isn’t unique to English.  I assume speakers of other languages experience the same phenomenon.
