-The '''linguistic information system''' or ''linguistic system'' is a sub-network of the [[human information system]] in the brain.  The system used by an individual for his or her [[linguistic activity]].  Based on observation of people’s linguistic activity, it seems to be safe to conclude (1) that a person’s linguistic system operates, e.g. for speaking and understanding, and (2) that it has been acquired and is further expandable, adaptable, and otherwise changeable.

+The system is in itself static -- it contains no processes nor is their any motion in the system itself -- and it is thus independent from the processes which use it, such as that for converting from a semantic representation to speech.  This type of independence is essential for a realistic model of such processes.
 The linguistic system  is like the highway system and the linguistic description like the highway map.  As a highway system it is static: There is neither motion nor directionality.  Cars can go on the highway in either direction, except for one-way roads.  This is because the linguistic system is a non-process type of system;  there is no motion in the linguistic system itself.  The cars, the network impulses traveling in both directions, maintain two primary processes: decoding from expression to content, or what happens when one understands, and that of encoding from content to expression, or what happenes when one speaks.

 When encoding is in progress, the activation of the network is proceeding at lower levels for the beginning of a sentence while it is still at higher levels for the end.  Indeed, the first few words of a sentence may be completely produced from the bottom of the phonology while the remainder is still incompletely formulated at the lexemic stratum.
