    ABSTRACT:: In order to create conceptual structures that will uniquely
               and unambiguously represent the meaning of an utterance, it
               is necessary to establish 'primitive' underlying actions and
               states into which verbs can be mapped. This paper presents
               analyses of the most common mental verbs in terms of such
               primitive actions and states. In order to represent the way
               people speak about their mental processes, it was necessary
               to add to the usual ideas of memory structure the notion of
               Immediate Memory. It is then argued that there are only three
               primitive mental ACTs.
