Toward an Integrated Psycholinguistic, Neurolinguistic, Sensorimotor Framework for Speech Production.

There is no disagreement that an integrated model to understanding speech production is an important research goal. In order to achieve that goal, we have to re-examine our assumptions in light of data and theoretical constructs from other traditions. We also have to recognize that early stages of an integrated model will sacrifice some within-tradition explanatory power for broader, cross-discipline explanatory power.
