Bermúdez is one of the most known defenders of the explanatory role associated with the non conceptual content. Specially, he uses this notion to explain the phenomena related to the information processing systems. My aim in this paper is to weaken the explanatory role of the non conceptual content in the case of language processing. If language processing only includes non conceptual contents, then some kinds of semantic priming would not be explained.
