Speaking: From Intention to Articulation

.
MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, (1989)

Abstract

In Speaking, Willem "Pim" Levelt, Director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Psycholinguistik, accomplishes the formidable task of covering the entire process of speech production, from constraints on conversational appropriateness to articulation and self-monitoring of speech. Speaking is unique in its balanced coverage of all major aspects of the production of speech, in the completeness of its treatment of the entire speech process, and in its strategy of exemplifying rather than formalizing theoretical issues .Levelt provides a theoretically coherent picture of the speaker as information processor. He proposes a modular organization of relatively autonomous processors for message generation, grammatical encoding, phonological encoding, and articulation. For each processor, he distinguishes carefully between its operations and its input and output representations. The chapters are arranged so that the reader builds knowledge of semantics, syntax, lexical structure, and phonology as it becomes required for understanding the processing issues.
