    DEFINITION OF PSYCHOLINGUISTICS
    Thomas Scovel (1998: 4) defines psycholinguistics as the use of language
    and speech as a window to the nature and structure of the human mind.
    Talking about language and human mind will not be separated from the
    study of psychological and neurobiological factors that enable
    humans to acquire, use, and understand language.

    Jean Aitchison (2011: XV) adds that this subject links psychology and
    linguistics which enables learners find out structures and processes which
    underlie a humans ability to speak and understand
    language

    John Field (2003: 2) said psycholinguistics also explores the relationship


    between human mind and language or thought and language
