Abstract
This chapter addresses the storage/computation issue in spoken word production. It is argued that word production is characterized by a storage versus computation trade-off that not only varies over the ensemble of planning stages but also within stages. Based on previous experience, the word production system has various aspects of words already prepared and stored away. To use such preparations, the system must access memory, retrieve the prepared material, and adapt it to the word at hand. The chapter reviews the WEAVER++ model of word production, spells out the model’s stance on the storage/computation trade-offs, and describes relevant empirical evidence.
