THE PRINCIPAL ATTRIBUTES OF PSYCHOLINGUISTICS

Abstract
The study of psycholinguistics aims to explain and explore the psychological
mechanisms that enable humans to acquire and utilize language. Psycholinguists study
how people of all ages understand and use language, as well as how speech and
language develop. The field of linguistics, which describes the structure of language,
provides descriptions of language through its findings. While language production,
comprehension, and acquisition have always been at the center of psycholinguistic
research, the area has grown significantly since its founding:
The neurology of language function is currently of interest to psycholinguists,
especially those studying gender differences, aphasia, language after congenital or
acquired immature brain damage, and developmental language disorders (dysphasia).
Some psycholinguists have extended their interest to non-human language learning
experiments (such as gorillas and chimpanzees) to determine whether language as we
know it is a uniquely human phenomenon.
