 Psycholinguistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psycholinguistics or psychology of language is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, and understand language.
Psycholinguistics is interdisciplinary in nature and is studied by people in a variety of fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, and linguistics.
Much methodology in psycholinguistics takes the form of behavioral experiments.

 Psycholinguistics Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com
Psycholinguistics or Linguistics of psychology is the study of the psychological and neurological factors that enable humans to acquire, use and understand language.
Another aspect of psycholinguistics involves studying individual use of language to understand the mental processes of the individual, a potentially useful tool for psychologists.
Psycholinguistics also studies the factors that account for decodification, i.e., the psychological structures that allow us to understand utterances, words, sentences, texts etc.

 The Articulate Mammal: An Introduction to Psycholinguistics
In contrast to most introductory books on psycholinguistics written by psychologists, Aitchison states that her book is "an attempt to provide an introduction to the subject from the linguist's point of view--although inevitably and rightly, it includes accounts of work done by psychologists" (p.
She rightly points out that the field of psycholinguistics "is in many ways like the proverbial hydra--a monster with an endless number of heads: there seems no limit to the aspects of the subject that could be explored.
This statement is in contrast to the situation 50 years ago, when she claims that psycholinguistics was "a seedling compared to the more mature areas of linguistics and psychology" (p.

 What is psycholinguistics
Psycholinguistics is a relatively new branch of linguistics, an outcome of two-field convergence -- philology and psychology.

 psycholinguistics - Columbia Encyclopedia article about psycholinguistics
The acquisition of native languages is studied primarily by developmental psychologists and psycholinguists.
An important focus of psycholinguistics is the largely unconscious application of grammatical rules that enable people to produce and comprehend intelligible sentences.
Although how children learn to speak is not perfectly understood, most explanations involve both the observation that children copy what they hear and the inference that human beings have a natural aptitude for understanding grammar.

 PSYCHOLINGUISTICS
Modern psycholinguistics is founded in Chomsky’s revolutionary approach to language­that it is not merely behavior, but that it also reveals human knowledge and mental competence.
Psycholinguistics therefore emphasizes, like cognitive psychology, the mental structures and processes that explain the acquisition, comprehension, and production of language.
The variety of human languages, which was once seen as evidence for the great mutability and versatility of human behavior, is now seen to demonstrate a great universal grammar, common to all humans.

 "Innatists" Psycholinguistics blatant nonsense examples
Because "innatist" psycholinguistics ignore the question of effectiveness of communication, which, as far as the child is concerned, is the important criterion, their arguments and theories are irrelevant to child acquisition of language.
One of the fundamental errors of "innatist" psycholinguists is their view of the learning process.
It becomes blatant nonsense when the psycholinguists try to prove the psychological reality of the traces.

 LINGUIST List 4.913: Psycholinguistics
On the one hand, even as a borderline psycholinguist who often finds himself suspended between psychological and linguistic reasoning, I'm extremely pleased that the change that is supposed to (and should) be happening is indeed taking place.
On the other hand, I'm puzzled why this has started to happen only in the last couple of years (re Marantz's message), and not earlier, and in general why it has EVER been otherwise, considering that at least according to some (very influential) points of view linguistics is merely a branch of psychology.
In fact, it seems to me that in these terms the term "psycholinguistics" is somewhat tautological (that is, if linguistics IS actually taken to be a part of psychology).

 Semantic Compositions: Linguistics -- Psycholinguistics
Readers who may not have much familiarity with psycholinguistics, but recognize the Steven Pinker brand name in popular psychology might wish to get ahold of this position paper that he wrote for Science; suffice it to say that Pinker probably also would dismiss the possibility that the OurVersions people are onto something.
Having included all these caveats, SC feels that Lakoff's ideas on the organization of the mind are important ones to deal with, and provide a very useful framework for understanding how people can look at the same situation and draw such different conclusions.

As a graduate student, I used to have this unsettling feeling that I was a cog-psychologist when reading linguistics, but that I was definitely a linguist when reading psycholinguistics.

Language is extremely complex, yet children learn it quickly and with ease thus, the study of child language is important for psychologists interested in cognition and learning and for linguists concerned with the insights it can give about the structure of language.
Many of the results of this work were controversial and inconclusive, and psycholinguistics has been turning increasingly to other functionally related and socially oriented models of language structure."
