"Language production is the production of spoken or written language."
The study of the mental processes and mechanisms involved in speaking and writing language.
Phonology: The study of how sounds are organized and used in language production.
Morphology: The study of how words are formed and structured in language production.
Syntax: The study of how sentences are structured and arranged in language production.
Semantics: The study of how meaning is conveyed through language and its context in language production.
Pragmatics: The study of how language is used in social contexts, including conversation and the interpretation of non-literal language.
Prosody: The study of how variation in intonation, stress, and rhythm affect meaning and interpretation in language production.
Phonetics: The study of the physical properties of speech sounds in language production.
Language acquisition: The study of how children learn language and the factors that support or hinder language development.
Cognitive processing: The study of how the brain processes and uses language in language production.
Discourse analysis: The study of how language is used in larger communicative contexts, including narrative and argumentation.
Language production in bilinguals: The study of how language production varies depending on the language background and context of the speaker.
Language disorders: The study of how language production can be disrupted in cases of language impairment or neurological damage.
Word retrieval: The ability to generate and retrieve words from memory.
Phoneme production: The production of individual speech sounds.
Syllable production: The production of individual syllables.
Morpheme production: The production of the smallest units of meaning in language.
Sentence production: The ability to construct a grammatical sentence.
Discourse production: The production of extended units of language, such as conversations, stories, and essays.
Prosody production: The production of features of speech that convey meaning beyond individual words, including intonation, stress, and rhythm.
Gesture production: The use of body language to communicate meaning alongside spoken language.
Conceptualization: The process of forming ideas and thoughts into a form that can be expressed in language.
Motor planning: The process of planning and executing the physical movements required for speech production.
"In psycholinguistics, it describes all of the stages between having a concept to express and translating that concept into linguistic forms."
"These stages have been described in two types of processing models: the lexical access models and the serial models."
"Through these models, psycholinguists can look into how speeches are produced in different ways, such as when the speaker is bilingual."
"Psycholinguists learn more about these models and different kinds of speech by using language production research methods that include collecting speech errors and elicited production tasks."
