What is Psycholinguistics?

Psycholinguistics is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, and understand language. It examines how people process, store, and produce language, and how these processes relate to the broader cognitive abilities of the mind. It draws on techniques and theories from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and computer science to understand the nature of language and how it is represented and processed in the mind and brain.
