Abstract
In thinking about how the human language system is organised to mediate the relationship between internally represented knowledge and the input and output systems dedicated to the access and use of this knowledge, it is natural to assume that the system has a considerable degree of functional and architectural symmetry. In current models of the organisation of the mental lexicon (e.g., Miceli 1994, Seidenberg 1995), we see diagrams very much like the one illustrated in Figure 1, with a central, modality-independent store of lexical content, and parallel sets of input lexica for the two principal modalities (speech and vision).
