【正确答案】正确答案：Psycholinguistics investigates the interrelation of language and mind, in processing and producing utterances and in language acquisition for example.(3 points)In the psycholinguistic study of grammar, the psycholinguistic constraints on the form of grammar are examined. It also studies language development in the child, such as theories of language acquisition, biological foundations of language, and a profound aspect—the relationship between language and cognition.(4 points) Psycholinguistics as a separate branch of study emerged in the late 1950s and 1960s as a result of Chomskian revolution. Later on it became clear that not only syntactic complexity adds to the difficulty of processing, but also semantic factors have a strong influence on it.(3 points) The recent tendencies in psycholinguistics show increasing interest in discourse processing, and in particular in the ways readers create a mental representation of the narrative world. The focus of interest is on the role of readers" schemata and the problem of inferences about the read subject matter. It has been proved that certain inferences are made in the very process of reading, while others are made later in order to resolve some problems or inconsistencies. The issues of background knowledge and automaticity of drawing inferences are still being investigated.(5 points)
