Communication - exchange of thoughts and feelings Psycholinguistics is the psychology of our language as it interacts with the human mind. It considers both production and comprehension of language Four areas of study have contributed greatly to an understanding of psycholinguistics: Linguistics, the study of language structure and change Neurolinguistics, the study of the relationships among the brain, cognition, and language Sociolinguistics, the study of the relationship between social behavior and language. Computational linguistics and psycholinguistics, the study of language via computational methods. Properties of Language: Communicative: Language permits us to communicate with one or more people who share our language. Arbitrarily symbolic: Language creates an arbitrary relationship between a symbol and what it represents: an idea, a thing, a process, a relationship, or a description Regularly structured: Language has a structure; only particularly patterned arrangements of symbols have meaning, and different arrangements yield different meanings.
