Psycholinguistics

What is
        psycholinguistics ?
Psycholinguistics is the study of the cognitive processes
      that support the acquisition and use of language.
Cognitive Models:
    Language Production in Bilinguals
Modelling Language
      Modelling Language Production of the Competent Bilingual In
psycholinguistics researchers try to develop models to describe and
preferably predict specific language behavior. The aim is to capture
                                        all aspects of language use.
Levelt’s speaking
                         model.
  - Aims at describing the process of language production
from the development of communicative intentions to the
                               articulation of the sounds.
On the basis of research on Bilingual aphasia , Paradis
            (1981) proposed the sub – set hypothesis
Language Choice
   In speaking , the step which is probably most crucial is
the matching of chunks from the pre verbal message with
                             the meaning part of lemmas.
Poulisse and Bongaerts
               (1994)
 argue that language is one of the features used in the selection
 process, so for the selection of the lemma boy , not only do the
      semantic features male and young have to match relevant
  conceptual information in the preverbal message , for bilingual
speaker how has English one of his languages , the lemma boy ,
         will need to contain about which language it belongs to
Experimental studies
Experimental studies of language Production in L1 and L2 In studies
of comprehension, a word sentence, or text can examine the way in
              which processing reflects its structure and meaning .
Illustrative researches on second language acquisition and
bilingualism. The non selective nature of lexical access In the lexical
  decision task letter strings are presented and the participant must
                            decide weather they are real words or not.
Developing lexical
  Developing lexical proficiency in a second language Few studies have
     taken a developmental approach to this issue to ask how nature of
activated lexical information changes with increasing proficiency in L2 .
Few have compared and have observed differences consistent with the
  view that initially the high degree of activation on L1 influences in L2
Forgetting and
                              relearning
Through non-use of a language, the level of activation of knowledge in
that language decreases even to point that the language is considered
       lost for foreign language teaching is how such knowledge can be
  reactivated again using our knowledge of the mechanics of language
   production and perception. Unfortunately , very little has been done
                                                           on this so far.
Language
  Implications Language production and language perception
two factors determinate accessibility of linguistic elements in
   particular non- balanced bilinguals and language learners.
