[@aravindrnair87]

Extremely helpful and informative! Eagerly awaiting the next lecture in the series.

I searched for psycholinguistics and it occured to me that the term itself is meningless without an intellegent deffinition of language and its function in both individual and social cognative development. Is it, for exapmle possible for and individual to formulate an objective analysis of their environment in the absence of linguistic tools? Even though language plays a significant part in forming relationships, I suspect it impedes some areas of natural development currently unexplored

[@MrAndrew535]

As paradoxical as this may seem, at the beggining of our developmental process, we learn the complexities of language wothout alanuage. So there is some evidence that there are analytical processes engaged and aplied in the early stages of development in the absence of language as it is currently defined and understood. Please excuse me, as they say in the US "I'm just spit-balling here.

A very insightful lecture. Thank you very much. Yet, I still have a question. In your lecture you seem to focus on how mother tongue is learned and what linguistic behaviors are like in each stage of development of a child. However, I think linguistic behaviors and verbal language are only the reflection of the mind and thought. Do you think that it would be more useful to look into how the mind is like relative to langauge learning so that we can get into the core of human cognition? Thank you.

Are you referring to Universal Grammar in the process of language acquisition?

[@MrAndrew535]

In order to understand psycholinguistics, clear deffinitions and destinctions need to be made between language and cognition. It has been suggested for example that nature has a highly complex language and "we" formulate mathamatics to understand and communicate that language among one another. So what does this mean in practice?

where is number IV?

[@anfoulaben7772]

whe are you going to talk about neurolinguistics? please!

[@MrAndrew535]

Aditionally, if language is limitted to the ant of exchanging experiences then perhaps psychosocial linguistics my be more suited to studying, explaining and describing the processes of language aquisition. This would provide an opportunity to develop a more refined aunderstanding of the nature of the role of language in cognition both in the individual and the collective.
