this is how the shoe fits

Psycholinguistics is as much about the study of the human mind itself

as it is about the study of that mind's ability to communicate and comprehend.

better the understanding of human nature

more effective the means to control it

in both religion and politics

which are commingled

to fit appropriate agendas..

~~

linguistic philosophy

which cares only about language, and not about the world

is like the boy who preferred the clock without the pendulum because

although it no longer told the time

it went more easily than before and at a more exhilarating pace.

~ Bertrand Russell ~ (1959)

Subsequently, psycholinguistic research has nonetheless recognized the inseparability of language from its underlying mental machinery and the external world.
