Put i project

Psycholinguistics is the study of how humans acquire, produce, and understand language. However, to date, most of psycholinguistics is built around Western European and East Asian languages, like English, German, or Japanese, etc. See this paper.

The goal of the Chamorro Psycholinguistics na Project is to use insights from how Chamorro speakers use their language in pursuit of a general theory about how humans use language - and thus to illuminate how the mind works.
