Psycholingvistika a čeština: některá slibná témata

Psycholinguistic research has not received much attention in the Czech linguistic community. However, psycholinguistic methods could contribute to research in areas that have been traditionally strong in Czech linguistics, such as the study of information structure (topic-focus articulation). Specific properties of Czech, such as its rich morphological system with many homonymous affixes, also provide interesting opportunities for research. The article demonstrates some methods used in research on word identification in adults and sentence processing in adults and children. It shows how these methods could be employed to provide theoretically relevant and new data about Czech.
