Abstract
Three findings from the last years are united into a strong motor theory of language that posits that lexical access in all modalities is performed by executing motor plans on the speech articulators. This theory is used to create a model of novel word learning that distinguishes between words and semiwords to account for the lack of implicit word priming in novel word learning. Semiwords are also used to model L2 words for most learners, as the consequence of having approached L2 learning relying on translation and visual text. This L2 word model is used to illustrate several translation phenomena.
