DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Psycholinguistics

Language is a major component of understanding human behavior.  It is also a key area in the field of psychology because it stands at the centre of human affairs, and it is a basic ingredient of every social situation. The study of acquisition, processing, and mental representation of a second/foreign language is increasingly linked to psychological research. Accordingly, psychological influences have affected language theory from the growing knowledge about the brain in cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, and cognitive neurosciences and studies by developmental psycholinguistics. Over the course of the current online lesson, we shall first define and describe these various academic disciplines that address aspects of the linguistics-psychology interrelationships. Then, we immediately are going to present literature related to psycholinguistics.
