Speaking : from intention to articulation /

A psycholinguistic treatment of the process of speech, from constraints on conversational appropriateness to articulation and self-monitoring. Seeing the speaker as an information processor, Levelt (director of Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) proposes a model in which message generation, grammatical encoding, phonological encoding, and articulation are relatively autonomous processors.--Booknews.com"A Bradford book."Includes bibliographical references (pages 501-537) and indexes.Ch. 1.
