Psycholinguistics is the study of language acquisition, production, and use, as well as the mental processes involved in understanding and producing language. Morphology is the study of the structure of words and how they are formed. Phonetics is the study of the sounds of human speech. Semantics is the study of meaning in language. While all of these fields are related to language, the study of language acquisition, production, and use is most closely associated with psycholinguistics.
