Abstract The subject of this symposium and the titles of some of its papers imply a belief that general principles of temporal processing can enlighten us about language behavior and the ills that attend it, whether in speech or in writing-reading. To determine just how well founded that belief is, we must I think, resolve two issues. One concerns the relation between the two kinds of language behavior we are trying to understand. The other looks in a different direction, at the relation of speech, the more basic of these behaviors, to the nonlinguistic modalities where the roots of that understanding are presumed to lie.
