Summary
Research on language production explores our ability to translate our thoughts into spoken words. The focus of interest is on the interplay between cognitive representations and processes, which together allow us to speak in a seemingly effortless way. The research described here addresses the semantic, syntactic, and phonological processes involved in speaking. Furthermore, it seeks to specify how these processes are linked to other, closely related cognitive functions.
