Although this paper is reasonably self-contained, it is best read as a subordinate file to our e-paper on "Speech Errors and Speech Production Models". An earlier version of this material appeared in Smith (1997; Chapter 6). It is repeated here with a colour-coded graphic and supported with hyperlinks. |
Lordat's (1843) Stages of
Sentence Production
The
French army surgeon, Jacques Lordat
(1773-1870) was one of the first to analyse speech
production as a succession of processing stages. He identified five main stages
as shown diagrammatically below .....

Lordat's "Boxology": This
is Lecours, Nespoulos,
and Pioger's (1987) rendering into block diagram
form of Lordat's (1843) analysis of the stages of
the speech production process. Five processing stages are identified. Stage 1
shows ideas emerging from the process(es) of thinking in general, and being
"isolated" in readiness for utterance. Stages 2 to 4 show the
progressive internal preparations of a syntactically precise output sentence,
and Stage 5 shows the final delivery of that sentence as sounds. Note
that Stage 5 consists of three separate subprocesses,
thus drawing attention to the need to identify the physical processing
modules as well as the processes themselves on this sort of diagram. If this diagram fails to load automatically,
