Spoken Language Production: A Psycholinguistic Approach

6
33

Language production is logically divided into three major steps: deciding what to express (conceptualization), determining how to express it (formulation), and expressing it (articulation). Although achieving goals in conversation, structuring narratives, and modulating the ebb and flow of dialogue are inherently important to understanding how people speak, psycholinguistic studies of language production have primarily focused on the formulation of single, isolated utterances. An utterance consists of one or more words, spoken together under a single intentional contour or expressing a single idea. The simplest meaningful utterance consists of a single word.
Generating a word begins with specifying its semantic and pragmatic properties-that is, a speaker decides upon an intention or some content to express (e.g., a desired outcome or an observation) and encodes the situational constraints on how the content may be expressed.
The next major stage is formulation, which in turn is divided into a word selection stage and a sound processing stage. Sound processing, in contrast, involves constructing the phonological form of a selected word by retrieving its individual sounds and organizing them into stressed and unstressed syllables and then specifying the motor programs to realize those syllables. The final process is articulation-that is, the execution of motor programs to pronounce the sounds of a word.

  1. Right here is the perfect web site for everyone who wants to find out about this topic.
    You know a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually will
    need to…HaHa). You definitely put a fresh spin on a subject
    that has been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!

  2. Hi there! This post could not be written any better!
    Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!

    He always kept preaching about this. I will send this article to him.
    Pretty sure he’s going to have a great read.
    Thanks for sharing!

  3. You really make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be really something that
    I feel I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and
    extremely large for me. I’m having a look forward on your next
    post, I’ll try to get the cling of it!
