A discussion of modularity in language production processes, with special emphasis on
processes for retrieving words and building syntactic structures for a to-be-uttered sentence …

Computational models of single-word production account fairly well for both errorful and
errorfree production data. This chapter reviews influential models and argues that, through …

Recent investigations have supported the suggestion that phonological speech errors may
reflect the simultaneous activation of more than one phonemic representation. This presents …

We investigated the role of syllables during speech planning in English by measuring
syllable-frequency effects. So far, syllable-frequency effects in English have not been …

I will propose a tentative framework of how words in two languages could be organized in
the cerebral cortex based on neural assembly theory, according to which neurons that fire …

This chapter reviews the findings of 58 word production experiments using different tasks
and neuroimaging techniques. The reported cerebral activation sites are coded in a …

One controversial phenomenon concerning slips of the tongue is the tendency for the onsets
of words to slip more frequently than segments at other word positions. Some researchers …

In his seminal essay,“The Modularity of Mind” Fodor (1983), presents arguments in favor of
language comprehension as a special module along with other input processing systems …

Two competing views on how information flows in the speech production system are
discussed. The full-cascading view holds that all activated concepts automatically activate …

Abstract Language production involves the retrieval of information from memory, the
planning of an articulatory program, and executive control and self-monitoring. These …
