As a developed tool innate to human beings, language presents one of our greatest differences from the animal kingdom.  Language allows us to efficiently communicate complex ideas and express our needs in order to fulfill them. As a uniquely human form of interaction, language has become a topic of psychological debate within the last couple of decades. Psychologists focus mainly on child development and language acquisition as starting points for linguistic inquiry. These developmental stages allow scientists to understand how a child moves from uttering a few words to speaking in entire sentences and how they gain understanding of language around them. Psycholinguistics is another name for this emerging field that promises to show how exactly we use language and why it is a skill unique to humanity.
