It is difficult to keep knowledge and the use of knowledge separate and, indeed, they

are only so distinguished in analysis and certainly not action.

A convenient place to start is to recognize that text-processing operates in both directions - reception and production; listening and speaking (or, the focus of our particular interest, reading and writing) - and that the processes involved are essentially mirror images of each other, i.e. we can explain reading and writing in terms of the same model.

The interconnection between production and reception can be seen in fig. 1: writer, reader and text.
