Psycholinguistics

Form of Control: The Use Psycholinguistics in Babel-17 The psychology of language has always been a complex and fluid study in which scientists investigate the "cognitive processes" that make it possible to generate a grammatical and meaningful sentence out of vocabulary and phonetic structures, as well as factors that let people acquire, produce, and comprehend language as an entirety. Samuel L. Delaney’s 1966 science fiction novel, Babel-17, explores a psycholinguistic approach to understanding

during treatment caused in the capability to perform parallel semantic judgments on original semantic tasks. Theoretical models of naming Why does training more complex, atypical category items result in generalization to typical items, while the reverse training procedure which is training less complex an typical items does not affect production of atypical items?. To clarify the potential mechanisms underlying the effect of typicality treatment, it is useful to concisely review theoretical models

While a mother was escaping an abusive relationship in search of welfare assistance, she took her thirteen-year-old daughter along with her. “Genie,” as she was called, intrigued the social worker in the welfare office. She was mesmerized by Genie’s posture, size, and stance. Curiously enough, the worker thought Genie might have been a case of unreported autism in a possible six- to seven-year-old (Rymer 1993). As a result, the worker notified her supervisor, who contacted the police. When

The purpose of this essay is to evaluate the effects of word frequency and superiority on word recognition when considering three models of lexical access - with these being the logogen, frequency ordered bin search (FOBS) and TRACE models. Included in this analysis empirical proof from research studies will be considered. It is vital to understand the relevance of the word frequency and superiority effects before contemplating their role in the models of lexical access. Word frequency is often associated

This study examines the manner people process language through visual and auditory sensory modalities under different study conditions, by measuring a person’s percentage of correctly responding if a word is real or fake and how much time it took the individual to react to their decision. The study condition for congruent words, in which the audio recording of words matched the real English word shown on the computer screen, had a significant effect in helping participants process the words more

Psycholinguistics covers the cognitive processes that make it possible to generate a grammatical and meaningful sentences out of vocabulary and grammatical structures, as well as the processes that make it possible to understand utterance, words, text, etc. One of the areas of psycholinguistics is concerned with how human beings

Keeping the psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic characteristics in mind for my future classroom as well as some classrooms I have been in working with and observing students. This paper will talk about the best way I feel is to reach the linguistic needs of my students. There were about twenty-five ELL students in my classroom this past semester, however, I only worked with six. All the ELL students in my class were Spanish speakers as their first language. Although I didn’t work with these students

Most people take it for granted that children will develop cognition, language and communication skills when they reach a certain stage in their life. In fact, various studies have been conducted regarding these aspects of human development. A common topic for debate is the issue of nature versus nurture, wherein some groups support the idea that language and cognitive development is as natural as breathing while other groups contend that external factors influence these characteristics of human

Acquiring a language is deemed as one of the inherent abilities of a human being to cope with a world that is wreathed with intricacy and diversity. A human’s knack for language acquisition apparently sets him apart from other creatures. Miller (1991, p.2) elucidates that language does not only distinguish humans from animals, but also elaborates an organized and civilized society. The earliest to write about language and the first to write about brain were the ancient Egyptians (Altmann, 2006
