Psycholinguistics (PL)
-
the science that studies the psychological and linguistic
aspects of people’s speech activities, social and psychological aspects of language use in
the processes of verbal communication and personal speech-thinking activities.

sciences. Let’s note the most important and frequently performed in practice
communications. Psycholinguistics "organically" and inextricably linked with:
- philosophy which promotes the general direction of
research;
- psychology (general, age, social, special psychology and many other areas of it).

- linguistics (general linguistics,
philosophy of language, a language grammar,
sociolinguistics, etc.);
- semiotics - the science of language
signs and their meaning;
- logics (the problems of psycholinguistic research is most often elect to host a logic

(personal, group, global, etc.);
- medicine, mainly from neurology, which helped a lot in studies and rules of speech
pathology, and psychiatry,
otolaryngology, and several other medical sciences, with

a lot of valuable data for
understanding the processes of generation and perception of speech;
- some technical sciences (in particular, those that
allow hardware and computer
software research of speech and language signs) with the acoustics and psychoacoustics,
etc.
