Psycholinguistics and Child Language
Acquisition
Psycholinguistics
merges the fields of psychology and linguistics to study how people process
language and how language use is related to underlying mental processes.
Studies of children’s language acquisition and of second-language acquisition
are psycholinguistic in nature. Psycholinguists work to develop models for how
language is processed and understood, using evidence from studies of what
happens when these processes go awry.
