This paper presents a cognitive approach to prosodic planning in a language generation system. The macro- and microprosodic planning component is part of a computational modeling of main processing stages of the human language production process. The architecture of the system which is motivated by appropriate psycholinguistic insights, and some representational formats of prosodic knowledge are introduced.
