PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASPECT OF THE TEXT PERCEPTION
Psycholinguistics is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors which allow humans to acquire, use, and understand language. The first handling of psycholinguistics had largely philosophical form, due to a lack of aggregated data on the human brain functioning. Psycholinguistics studies the cognitive processes which allow composing a grammatical and meaningful sentence out of vocabulary and grammatical structures, as well as the processes which help to understand spoken language and written text. The first step in speech production is the incentive, and it becomes the last step in the return process - perception and understanding of the statement, because the purpose of the recipient is to understand the reason of the given idea. At the heart of understanding process there is an intention to decode sense of the whole message. Perception of the text is multilevel process, consisting of several stages: recognition of an external form of separate language units which are connected with a concept of the lexemes of the reader’s memory; specification of subject meaning correlation of a certain word; identification and defining of denotatum that is reached due to use of encyclopedic knowledge of the recipient. Perception of the text is the process which is characterized by the structured sequence where reader passes several levels: lexical (recognition of the word), syntactic (recognition of the sentence) and semantic. The purpose of the recipient is to reveal the main message of a producer, in other words to define an incentive of statement production adequately.
