Psycholinguistics is
a combination of two words 'psychology' and 'linguistics'. Psycholinguistics
studies psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to
acquire, use, and understand language.
His original study was more
philosophical, since there was little understanding of how the human brain
functions. Psycholinguistics therefore is closely related to cognitive
psychology. Modern research uses biology, neurology, cognitive science, and
information theory to learn how the brain processes language.
Psycholinguistics involves
cognitive processes that can produce meaningful and grammatically correct
sentences from vocabulary and grammatical structures, including processes that
make sense of phrases, words, writings, and so on.
Developmental
psycholinguistics studies the ability of infants and children in language
learning, usually with experimental and quantitative methods (in contrast to
naturalistic observations such as Jean Piaget did in his research on child
development).
