Abstract
This article presents a psycholinguistic view of writing that focuses on the processes of translating concepts into sentences. The current research emphasis on planning is discussed in terms of its theoretical roots in artificial intelligence models of planning and the limited applicability of such models for writing. A case is made for viewing writing not only as a planning problem but as a linguistic problem that can benefit from work in reading and speech production.Keywords
