Abstract
We summarise research on language production that is based on presentations given at the Fourth International Workshop on Language Production (Münster, Germany, September 2007). The individual contributions to this special issue cover language production in its full width: from processes and information types involved in formulation (Ziegler, Cholin & Levelt; Damian & Dumay), via lexical competition and selection (Abdel Rahman & Melinger; Mahon & Caramazza) to the interplay between conceptualisation and gesturing (Kita).
