Models of Language Production
Willem Levelt outlined the currently accepted theory of speech production. The different components of production are displayed in the Figure 1. Words are produced after the concept waiting to be produced is conceptualized, related words are selected, encoded and the sound waves of speech are produced.
While there is a large amount of heterogeneity in phenotypes of children with expressive language disorder, in terms of impairment and of severity. We can use language models such as Willem Levelt's to propose that individuals of expressive language order have a block in one or more of the cognitive steps involved in language production.

“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
