• Throughout the course, you will discover that Psycholinguistics spreads its net wide. It draws on ideas and knowledge from a number of associated areas, such as:

• phonetics, semantics and pure linguistics.

• There is a constant exchange of information between psycholinguistics and those working in neurolinguistics, who study how language is represented in the brain

• Much of the early interest in language processing derived from the AI goals of
designing computer programs that can turn speech into writing and programs that
can recognize the human voice.

• The link between psycholinguistics and AI has been a two-way traffic:

➢ AI researchers have drawn upon psychological accounts of how speech is processed;

➢ and psycholinguists have used the operations of the computer as a model of how the mind works → Some of the early insights into lexical access

• The techniques used by psycholinguists can be:
➢ observational: derived from recording linguistic behaviour

• The techniques used by psycholinguists can be:
➢ experimental: derived from setting linguistic tests
