Abstract
This chapter focuses on the functional aspects of production, while paying particular attention to the coordination of strategies or control processes. The long-term objective of these studies is to gain an understanding of the systematic procedure used by subjects when producing texts. Control has also been analyzed in various ways; it can be either central or general, or spread out and specific, and is considered to be automatic to a lesser or greater degree, depending upon the model. The extreme complexity of the production activity is exemplified by the difficulty of coordinating specific models into more general ones. Inversely, when models are too general, they are difficult to validate because they are procedural. The types of behavior observed, which are used as an index to present the various studies, correspond to a difference in the nature and level of the phenomena under observation.
