Abstract

In this paper we argue that there is a translation problem from the conceptual representational system to the linguistic one that has not traditionally been taken into account. Such a problem has gone unnoticed possibly because an intermediate representational system adapted to the expressive needs of language has been postulated to exist. However, we explain that, far from solving the problem, postulating this intermediate system makes the translation problem more difficult to solve. Consequently, we propose a model of speech production that does not resort to the representation level known as “thinking for speaking” (Slobin, 1996).
