The Definition of Psycholinguistics

Psycholinguistics gets to the heart of what we do with language. It
provides insight into how we connect our own speech and writing; how we
understand that of others; into how we store and use vocabulary; into how we
manage to reach language in the first place; and into how language can make us
fail. Then we can conclude that psycholinguistics is the study of psychological
and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend, and
produce language.
Psycholinguistics is cross-disciplinary study in nature with an
overlapping area that includes phonetics, discourse analysis, language pathology,
neuroscience, computer modeling, and language teaching pedagogy (Field 2004:
ix).
