The first comprehensive representation of human faculty of speaking was brought forward in the late 20th century, by Willem Levelt. Regarding Willem Levelt's model for the processing of speaking, it is accurate to affirm that: the conceptualizer and the formulator operate automatically, while the articulator demands the speaker's attention. the conceptualizer consists of phonetic, grammatical, and phonological encoding, providing speech with its surface structure. the knowledge component encompasses students' previous lexical, situational, discursive, morphological and encyclopedic knowledge - which may come handy when they attempt to put their ideas into words. the knowledge component includes students' mental mechanisms that ultimately result in the generation of speech. the formulator is responsible for generating the message.
