Complexity of Speech
- Speaking seems easy but is a complex cognitive process.
- We select words, organize them syntactically, and convert them into sounds, rarely making mistakes.

- Intention to speak is external to the language system but managed by the same system managing other intentions.
- Language task schemas are mental lists of processes needed for specific language tasks.
