Psycholinguistics
Definition
- psycholinguistics is the study of language and the mind
- psycholinguistics explores what goes on in the human mind as an individual acquires, comprehends, produces, and stores language.
-
Acquiring Language
- Both nature and nurture are important.
- Many types of behaviour develop naturally at a certain age, provided that the surrounding environment is adequate.
- Humans produce recognizable words at around 12-15 months and start putting words together at around 18 months.
- Animal behavior could be divided into 2 types: inborn and natural( dogs naturally bark ) and learned and unnatural (dogs may be taught to beg).
- All normal children, and some abnormal ones, will begin to speak if they hear language going on around them.

Recognizing words
- Understanding language is an active not a passive process
- When listening to a speech, the listener immediately draws conclusions from the information from the speech.
Speech production
- Feet are divided into syllables
- There are 2 main kinds of slip: selection errors, in which a speaker has picked out the wrong item, and assemblage errors in which a correct choice has been made, but the utterance has been wrongly assembled.
- Speech production involves 2 types of process; word s have be selected and on the other, they have be integrated into the syntax.
- Speech is organized in accordance with a rhythmic principle that a tone group is divided into smaller units
(usually called feet) which are based on stress.
-
Understanding syntax
- People jump to conclusions on the basis of outline clues by imposing what they expect to hear onto the stream of sounds.
- The process is similar to word recognition, in that people look for outline clues, and then actively,reconstruct the probable message from them.
