Speech production

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In psycholinguistics, language production encompasses the cognitive processes involved in planning and articulating spoken , written and signed language ; this includes single words as well as sentences and dialogues. The disciplines of psycholinguistics, phonetics , neurolinguistics and neurophonetics deal with language production . However, language production is far less explored than language understanding.

After Willem Levelt (1989) four different stages of speech production process are distinguished: conceptualization, formulation, articulation and self-monitoring ( English self-monitoring ). At the beginning the speaker thinks about which message should be transmitted; In the next step, a grammatical plan is created from this (access to the mental lexicon : words and phrases are selected and arranged, the phonological form of the words is activated ), which is carried out in the third step by the muscles of the articulation apparatus. It also monitors what is said to ensure that what was intended was said.
