Psycholinguistic – processes go on in our brain Psycholinguistics deals with the relationship of language and thinking. It studies what processes go on in our brain while speaking (speech production) and how we are able to understand speech (speech perception). The examination of the mental lexicon, (that is our 'mental dictionary') also widens our knowledge in connection with speech production and speech perception. Psycholinguistics also covers the issues of child language, that is how babies acquire their mother tongue. A marginal area of study is bilingualism, which deals with those individuals and communities that speak two (or more) languages. Neurolinguistics focuses on cerebral processes during speech, as well as on the effects of different brain injuries and the relationship between linguistic competencies.
Psycholinguistics is a relatively young branch of linguistics, it appeared somewhere at the beginning of the 1950's. Naturally, psycholinguistic type of researches had been carried out before as well, both by scientists and laymen, e.g. doctors, philosophers, psychologists, linguists.
Psycholinguistics studies these phenomena by means of observation and experiments.
