Language is an essential tool of communication that is determined by one of the most complex cognitive processes. Understanding these processes contributes greatly to various fields of knowledge.

Language use is one of our most complex cognitive abilities. People are able to get their own messages across and to understand other people's utterances. But they also adjust their language in different situations, for example, when listening to someone with a different dialect or sociolect, when reading a novel or an e-mail, when speaking on the phone, and when chatting.
