Abstract:	Language production and comprehension are intimately inter-related; and models of production and comprehension should, we argue, be constrained by common architectural guidelines. The target article adopts as guiding principle Occam's razor: the best model of production is the simplest one. We recommend adoption of the same principle in comprehension, with consequent simplification of some well-known types of model.
