ABSTRACT
Ever since Wundt’s debates with the neogrammarians late in the nineteenth century, psychologists and linguists each have been interested in what the other has had to say about language. In Wundt’s day, the study of language was a unified field to which both psychologists and linguists contributed. But as the two fields became more specialized, the study of language structure got cut off from the study of language use. Language structure was considered the province mainly of linguists, and language use the province mainly of psychologists.
