Language production: from thought to implementation w Processes of speech production fall into three broad areas: n n n Conceptualization Formulation Encoding
Language production: conceptualization w Highest level w Processes of conceptualization involve determining what to say (often called message level processes) w Speakers conceive an intention and select relevant information from memory w Product is a preverbal message
Language production: macroplanning vs. microplanning w Macroplanning involves the elaboration of the communicative goals into a series of subgoals and the retrieval of appropriate information w Microplanning involves assigning the right propositional shape to these chunks of information, and deciding on information structural properties (i. e. , e. g. , topic, focus, etc. )
Language production: formulation w Processes of formulation involve translating the conceptual representation into a linguistic form w Two major processses: n n lexicalization (selection of individual words) syntactic planning
Language production: encoding w Processes of encoding involve detailed phonological and articulatory planning n n Phonological encoding involves turning words into sounds Sounds must be produced in the correct sequence and specify how the muscles of the articulatory system should be moved
Language production: speech production processes (Levelt 1989) CONCEPTUALIZATION macroplanning & microplanning FORMULATION lexicalization & syntactic planning ARTICULATION phonological encoding & preparing instructions for articulatory system
