Models of Language Production
Willem Levelt outlined the currently accepted theory of speech production. The different components of production are displayed in the Figure 1. Words are produced after the concept waiting to be produced is conceptualized, related words are selected, encoded and the sound waves of speech are produced.
While there is a large amount of heterogeneity in phenotypes of children with expressive language disorder, in terms of impairment and of severity. We can use language models such as Willem Levelt's to propose that individuals of expressive language order have a block in one or more of the cognitive steps involved in language production.

“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
—Frederico Fellini (1920–1993)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
