Title: Book Review: Inner Speech
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1309.html AUTHOR: de Guerrero, Maria C. M. TITLE: Inner Speech -- L2 SUBTITLE: Thinking Words in a Second Language SERIES: Educational Linguistics 6 PUBLISHER: Springer YEAR: 2005 Anna Franca Plastina, Dipartimento di Linguistica, Università della Calabria, Italia DESCRIPTION/SUMMARY The book pinpoints the features of second language (L2) inner speech and analyses the processes which trigger its development. Throughout the volume, focus is placed on inner speech conceived as ''the internal (covert) and nonaudible forms of speech for oneself, such as mental rehearsal and internal self-talk'' (xii). External manifestations of self-directed speech are only marginally treated as the author's main aim is to explore the social construct of ''the faculty to conjure up in the mind words in a second language (L2)'' (xi) within the sociocultural theory framework (Vygotsky 1978, 1986; Leontiev 1981; Sokolov 1972; Vocate 1994). The author offers a comprehensive overview of the issue, covering historical background information and theoretical principles, besides providing insights into the study of inner speech both in the speaker's first language (L1) and in L2 from an articulated methodological, empirical and pedagogical perspective. The book is addressed to scholars with a specific interest in sociocultural theory application, to researchers, educators, and students in the fields of L2 and Foreign Language (FL) learning, applied linguistics, language and cognition, and psycholinguistics. It might also be a useful resource book for those interested in gaining an understanding of the role played by inner speech in mediating language and thought.
