Abstract
Psycholinguistics, is a branch of psychology that deals with language and cognitive development. It is primarily concerned with how the language is presented and processed in the brain. It also projects similarities between different languages, compares their history and explains the relation between two languages sharing similar history or place of origin. The term “Psycholinguistics” was first coined by American psychologist Jacob Robert Cantor in 1936 in his book “An Objective Psychology Of Grammar”, where he refers to psycholinguistics as the bridge between psychology and linguistic study. Later, it was researched on again in 1940 by Charles E. Osgood and Thomas A. Sebeok, who performed a series of experiments and concluded that psycholinguistics plays a huge role in cognitive development of children and almost all children, irrespective of any linguistic community, show the same pattern of development.
