ABSTRACT
This penultimate chapter draws together many issues from the rest of the book. The architecture of a building indicates what it looks like, how its parts are arranged, its style, and how to get from one room to another. What is the architecture of the language system? How are its modules arranged, and how do they interact with one another? How many lexicons are there? This chapter examines how the components of the language system relate to one another. In particular, it will look at how different types of word recognition and production interrelate. A final question is the extent to which language processes depend on other cognitive processes. Although this issue was also considered in Chapter 3, we focus here on the relation between language processing and memory.
