Abstract

This article aims to integrate "Grammatical models" and "Performance models". Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to elucidate the role that existing grammatical models play in performance models and to supplement necessary discussions. Existing grammatical models incorporate an 'Interface' to serve as a link between them, taking subsequent utterances into consideration. However, within performance models, the position of grammatical models aligns with the 'Formulator', situated between the 'Conceptualizer' and 'Articulator'. It has been identified that not only is an 'Interface' needed for connection with the 'Articulator', but an 'Interface' for connection with the 'Conceptualizer' is also imperative. Therefore, this article argues for the establishment of an 'Intentional Interface' as a connecting link between the 'Conceptualizer' and 'Formulator'. The theoretical basis for this argument is explained through the lexical selection process in the lexicon. In summary, while existing grammatical models do not delve into how lexical selection occurs in the lexicon, this article posits that lexical selection is based on the 'Intent' interpreted in the 'Intentional Interface'. This explanation, I believe, provides a theoretical foundation for explaining the 'Generation of Idiomatic expression', 'Generation of Active and Passive expressions', and 'Root separation'.
