    Psycholinguistics is the branch of study that examines the relationship between the human mind and language by studying the processes in the brain involved in producing and understanding spoken and written communication. It encompasses aspects of language acquisition, syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology. Psycholinguistics also involves studying language processing, storage and retrieval, as well as internal and external factors that impact language development and how damage to the brain can affect language abilities.

    What is Psycholinguistics?

    Psycholinguistics is the branch of study that has its roots in both psychology and linguistics.
    It is concerned with the relationship between the human mind and language as it examines the
    process that occurs in brain while producing and receiving both spoken and written discourse. It
    studies psychological and neurobiological factors that affect language competence and
    performance. It encompasses different aspects of language acquisition to syntax and semantics,
    phonology and morphology.
    Psycholinguistics involves language processing, lexical storage and retrieval. It includes
    internal and external factors that impact language development (how damage to the brain can affect
    certain aspects of language), evolutionary explanations of why humans have the capacity to use
    language and the parts of brain (including hemispheres) concerned with different areas of
    language, language acquisition (how language is first used by children: learn grammar rules and
    communicate with other people), and second language acquisition and use. So, psycholinguistic
    study gives knowledge of underlying processes of language in the human mind, how come we
    store linguistic information and understand each and other in communication.
    In short, Psycholinguistic intends to study biological and neurological factors that enables
    humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce knowledge.
