Section I: Facts, models, and methods: empirical writing research
Abstract
In this article I aim at making plausible an automatic decision mechanism which reads out competing lemmas/lexemes. This read-out mechanism is an important component of the recursive loops of writing and therefore a correlate of the monitor. Furthermore, I address some current discussions in writing research as to the costliness of writing, cognitive versus automatized „modules‟, and writing in L2. Finally, I turn to the possible assess- ment of writing processes in brain imaging.
