Abstract
The basic function of language is communication. When the listener succeeds in decoding the message intended by the speaker, the communication has been a success. But exactly how does the speaker package information to make sure that the listener will succeed? What does the listener have to do to build up a mental representation that echoes the original representation in the speaker's mind?
